Well spotted Sir, yes it is. Turns out that backing plate ends of diff still parallel even though tube has obvious bent. Owner and I doing some grinding at bodyguys workshop this weekend.

Great news. We used the drum as a slide hammer and popped after 4 pulls. Axel in perfect shape. Used more force on the nugget and it came off too. Has 3.23 gears . Housing got kink in 1 tube but when we measured it every way possible with straight edges it is parallel at ends of housing. Looking...

I like to start the morning with a laugh but wasn't expecting to laugh so hard. You guys never fail to surprise me. Had to be a fellow Kiwi involved too. Thanks for all the input, looks like I will need to wear my earmuffs for the serious hammer work. We did loosen the nugget nuts and hit it...

Hello all. Brief update. Our body guy had a hand injury that he thought was healing. Alas, NO. Had to have another surgery. He still 2 months away from picking up a hammer. We have had all the beefy parts media blasted. Just seen the diff has 1 tube that has a slight bend in it , bummer. Cheers

After media blasting our 8 3/4 diff we noticed it has a slightly bend tube on the right hand side. We began stripping it down . The left hand axel and backing plate went like clockwork. The righthand axel refuses to come out . ??? I assume the bend has caused the spline end of the axel to jam...

Hello all. Progress . Before we sent the body to get media blasted, my buddy Grant and I stripped the quarters. I didn't get any photos. Lucky for me I had my camera when we stripped the hood. It had been done before hence why the chem stripper worked so well. Was still amazing to watch as the...

Cheers guys. When I did my own projects I posted photos every few days. Feels strange not having the coronet in the shed so I take progress photos. I thought I was going to be doing more on the body, but the body guy is going to be doing the final paint so only trusts himself on the prep...

Outstanding, be an awesome feeling hearing it fire up. Looking forward to the video.

Been too long. Had an awesome time at Carlisle. Still haven’t fitted some of the parts I squeezed into my suitcase. Over last 2 months we have been stripping out the coronet. The heat gun method worked great for removing the underseal. We used paint stripper to remove paint on the roof and...

Took so many reference photos for my 70 RR and my mates 70 Coronet that we about to restore. So many projects for sale too, even one at the hotel we stayed at. Wife said no. Haha

Awesome event, wish I had arrived on the Wednesday to get more mopar fix. Was thrilled to me up with Hawk and rest of the team at the luncheon. Being my first time I was only at the team the one time as I had so much to see and buy. Kid in a candy store. Only had 1 bag to fill on trip back to...

Thanks Dave, I better get on with the purchase, Dantes have a 6 week lead in time and ebay ones out of stock. Thanks Bandit, I assume all the big parts vendors will have stalls

Hello, My friend wants to purchase hood scoops for his super bee clone. I am going to Carlisle this year and said I am happy to pack these scoops in my bag and bring back to NZ. The freight is astronomical. Question, do the part vendors bring these type of items to the show to sell ? Which...
