Hi Murray,

Thanks, if I get the car sorted out by then, Carlisle is a good possibility. I was thinking about you during this project as I used your shop crane to lift and turn the rear assembly upside down to work on it...thanks again!

The bearing assembly came back from ERA Friday and I got the rearend back together and installed in the car. Since I had the gas tank out, I put foam rubber insulation on the top. Even though I haven't heard any noise like others have reported, the trunk floor was flexing a good bit. I used a double layer of 1 1/4" x 7/16" insulation. It compresses easily so not forcing anything and it took all the flex out of the trunk. The floor is now nice and solid. I still need to bleed the rear brakes and put the cockpit back together and I'll be in forward motion again.

Also, my tag, title, registration and VIN plate came in the mail, so its a "real" car now. Too bad we got 5" of snow today. It's going to be a long winter - guess I have plenty of time to finish up the little things.

Kevin - sounds like you are on the final leg of the adventure. Too bad about winter. I'm tired of it already.

Winter is definitely here Kevin, snowing once again as I write this (also why I am home and not at work in Philly so I can't complain too much). Congrats on getting to the "nit-picky" phase. Once the weather warms it would be nice to get some of the cars from your area as well as here in SJ (there are a few around here but I dont see many SJ guys on the CC forum???) together for a run. Im not familiar with any events around here are you? Mr Mustang surely would know...
