Yes, that is cool (dare I say kick ass?).
What company was it with such a warranty?

64 Vette….Rebuild 2.0

Still in business....and I heard there is Chinese knockoffs of their rear diff cover.
I'm pretty sure my original wasn't as it was so old....but still, I can't believe there is a big enough market for these covers to warrant somebody making a knockoff.

Hah, no ****. I used to deliver parts to their regular division.
I believe they're part of...
...****...I think it's Muskegon Brake and Spring? **** it's been 8 years since I was there. Big shop that did heavy truck work but also regular truck work. I remember there being a Corvette shop nearby.

Probably them. Been a life time or two since then.
I got the rear driveline parts all together now, and painted, waiting on some adjustable strut rods now, and I can put it all in the car again.
I got some Moroso Ujoint girdles for the driveshaft too
Way better than ubolts or especially straps:

I have those girdles on my Blazer rear end. Lost one of the little ears holding the cap in, did a trail fix, then finally got the girdles to get me by until I can swap in new axles.
By the way, I have been watching this for a long time, your car is just beautiful.

Thanks guys. I don't mean to sound conceted, but sometimes I go out to the shop just to admire it.
Man, I do that as well, but my "projects" are all junk.
Hell, I might get all romantic with it...Thanks guys. I don't mean to sound conceted, but sometimes I go out to the shop just to admire it.
I hear ya AJ....at times I just stare at the hood, and think its just as nice as looking at a nice set of funbags.....'cept it don't jiggle.

If it don't jiggle you need a bigger cam.
Yeah, that hood makes my pants fit funny.

yeah it jiggles when running....
and I just upped the rockers to 1.6, so .512 intake, and .533 exhaust should make it jiggle some more.

agreed. that hood is NICE!
that paint job is 12 years old now, and that was a brand new hood when it was painted. I mean new, like they had to wait to ship it, because it just came out of the mold 3 days prior.
Finally got the rear diff back in the car, with the half-shafts, and suspension. I upgraded to adjustable strut rods also.
I put some parts in, and took others out:
I rebuilt this last year, and haven't run it yet, didn't even put fluid in it yet.
I wanted to change the torque convertor to a pro-street unit with a higher stall to it, and also decided to make a few upgrades to it as well.
The 34 element direct drum, and sprag, and a rear torrington bearing to replace the thrust washer. Also a new bushing for the pump.
