Miller Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Update So my good friend Greg, the gergwheel, whom I am forever in debt to, helped me get the car over to his lift to work on Max. So far we have: Replaced the inner and outer tie rods, installed Moog ball joints, new struts, caster camber plates and the 5 lug swap is complete on the front. We also installed rear shocks, took down the very stock, old exhaust (it fell off practically), installed poly bushings on the transmission and pulled the drive shaft. Next up to install the aluminum driveshaft, strut brace, rear sway bar, axles and distributor. Then Max should kick some ass at my next Mid Ohio/Nelson Ledges visit. I'll have pictures next time I visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sad update: Me, Greg and a friend were working on the car this week and after pulling the axles and pumpkin cover we found out that the 0n3 axles won't fit. They're about a half inch away from the C clips groove on the inside. It's because I'm fortunate enough to have a 7.5 rear end. Also both spider gears were missing teeth and the posi clutches are completely shot. Junk I have been shopping yards and forums the last few days and found an 8.8 rear with 4.10 gears, trac-loc, 5 lug axles and disc brakes. I'll be grabbing it here in a few days. Maybe in a week or two it will be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) I don't want you giving up a weekend day to assist me. Plus I'm usually with Amber during the weekend. I've got what should be the last of the parts on their way this week and will hopefully have this thing driving for my birthday August 3rd.

Miller Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 New rear is in. I've been stuck for a few weeks removing the lower control arm on the car. The bolts welded themselves into the bushing sleeves. It took an immense amount of beating, heating and bending to get them loose. I have the 8.8 hung and prothane, polyurethane bushings from front to back of the car. Should handle great. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=7267 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=24&pictureid=7268 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Too lazy to post pictures. Axles in, pumpkins sealed. Fuel lines are run. Exhaust is mounted. Drive shafts on and rear sway bar/end links are in. Still need to turn it over and fix a seized part on the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
