    I not sure how people assemble aftermarket parts without a mill and lathe! You'll will always regret not pre-assembling every component. In my experience, nothing ever is a bolt on. Love all your content. What happens when the little red light comes on? LOL

    Man o man ! You just seem to have no luck at all with aftermarket parts fitment. But you always figure it out Ed . Nice work.

    Love the details and the honesty. Great video. Look forward to seeing more on this one. Hoping the love for the Mustang and GTO returns soon as I love those 2 cars as well. Be safe and stay well.

    Professor Ed just said it. Chevy diffs are better than ford.

    like the videos of the 9 inch build but you should have installed and torqued ALL the nuts on the pumpkin. I only saw 3 nuts ! Also, I would have installed shaft collars on both sides of steel shaft.

      I'm assuming your comments relate to Episode 3, where I narrow the housing? I had 4 nuts on the pumpkin, evenly spaced, but yeah I maybe should have done all of them - good point. Not sure what you're referring to about the collars. I had all 4 in place during all the welding.

      Currently yes, but I'll be moving them up a bit to get the 4-link instant center in the right place.

    Mate, loving the direction you are going with this project, especially your effort to keep the stock aspects, such as the rostyle wheels. I was going to suggest using MGB 14" rims, but you're already on to that! I have used these on my GT, just on adapters and widened. I think I went 7.5" on the back and 6" on the front to keep the steering light. You can see them briefly on my car on my Firenza HPF build channel.
    Keep up the good work, look forward to next installment.
