well since cody busted and axle in his 7.5, hes puttin a 12 bolt in the luv. im gonna use this thread to put pics in and update the buildup.


so to start, i took some pics of the new ladder bars and panhard bar. the ladderbars were ordered form jegs, and the panhard is from speedway.

Image

hes got his 12 bolt housing out at a shop right now to be cut down and gone though. it gonna be getting a new gearset and a posi or possibly a locker.

ill keep ya all informed of the buildup.

I hope he does not do allot of street driving. The heims joints on the end of those ladder bars will bust with allot of side thrust on them. They are fine with straight track time. Most street cars with ladder bars use bushings instead.

Doctor Flamo has a video out that shows you how to set up your Ford nine inch rearend. He has a beautiful 32 Ford coupe that's chopped, and he shows you how to chop it. He's the one that came out with the realistic new kind of flames.

well the rearend housing is completely stripped. no more brackets or anything on it. the whole luv project is kinda on hold right now though, due to funds being missing.

id take more pics, but i dont have any fresh batteries for the camera.
