took out rear axles today... both look like this... where do you recommend buy new?

Doctor Diff would be my first thought.
He's a good guy.

Or Moser Engineering.
I've bought the A body axles from them.

Unsolicited opinion next and maybe not needed, but.
My two cents worth is to use tapered bearing like Chrysler intended and not ball bearings.
1. It gives the students the real experience.
2. Last I checked you can get American made Timken at Doctor Diff.

Great project and awesome to see the kids learning on this. Real world skills on a real world project. Please do let us know how to buy tickets when they are available as I am keen to buy some too.

You could pick up a used rear with good chunk and axels. If there is a fat budget call Dr Diff!

Its a tribute car.

Looks like you got a clean straight car to start with.

Agree, color is great.

Nice parts list, too.

A gentleman comes in and rebuilds the transmission right in front of the students!

 

[SpartanGarage]

Looking sweet with a front bumper!

Got the rear in. Fuel tank showed up with no lines! So we are waiting on that.

Have some great people from Buffalo Ed and Joe L getting us some much needed missing parts and hardware!

Grate to see the younger generation getting their hand's on an old school car. All metal and not these plastic car's of today. Grate job. Yes the color is grate also.

Put it in and pull it where you want it. Use those small clamps from harbor freight that I call tent clamp. Clothes pins are too week. Let it sit for a day or two and then stretch it again. Those young guy's have strong hand's. They say start at the back and work to the front. Did mine by my self and wish I had another person to help out. Took two cans of glues form CJ pony cars. They are small cans. Legendary show's how to measure for the bow's. Your class is doing a grate job. Keep it up and the pictures coming.

Anyone know where is best to find the following:

New Steering wheel
New Dash pad (long narrow)
Axle stud nuts. Got new axles but I only had 2 nuts.
The seal/ (White "H" looking plastic part) for the front window.
Power steering gear box

Retro Radio with Bluetooth but OEM look (dual scroll wheel type?)
Radio bezel piece
Front dash speaker holder
tweeters to go with above.
