Looks great! Nice job on the ducktail.

What is that O/D unit on the front of your differential?

I know what you mean, It looks like a divorced transfer case.

Edit: Oh, I see! That stance is with the engine installed! He does have alot more weight to add such as glass, seats, radiator forward, etc. that will bring it down a bit.

Is it just me seeing it, or is there more than just the third member on the front of that diff? Is the angle of the photo just making it look longer? I have the large Daytona pinion on mine and that one looks longer, like it has an overdrive attatched to it instead of the tranny tailshaft. Maybe it's just the different colour between it and the housing making it look that way.

Sorry just got back on the net. There is no OD unit. It must be the angle of the picture.

Looks great, that color really rocks. Ditto on what size rims and tires your running? Also do you have any crossover pipe for the exhaust? I always that that was a must?
