    Rear End upgrade

    I went 3.80 and auburn pro posi. need to wait till insurance is back on for a test drive. All the late model crowd seems to lean toward 4.11 for the aod unless huffing, then they like less gear. mine will see road trips and if its not enough gear for around town i will add more power.

    Santa came early to my house

    nice hinges! galvanic corrosion (from dis-similar metals)... make a paper gasket for the hood to hinge contact and use stainless hardware... santa stopped by my place too! he dropped an auburn pro posi center chunk with a 380 gearset for my 8" to go with my new AOD. Santa has been very good to me!

    Car or 401K?

    I am maxed on the 401 and have been for years with the exception of following the divorce. The stang is an investment be it good or bad, cant tell until it actually sells otherwise its speculation. borrowing on the 401 is last resort money required to live on, that 5% (or whatever rate) is only...

    What brakes?

    "If the thought of asking some questions on a forum is the tipping point that sends you to a $1200.00 brake kit, have at it. I won't be joining you, however" no. actually throwing $800 worth of parts at a brake system and not having them work well sent me to a $1200 kit that I could find zero...
