very nice rear end. Not sure if you mentioned it, but are you keeping it 4wd? Thought you were, what axle or upgrades you doing on the north end?
 
front axle

Per Class 3 rules, Short wheelbase 108" 4X4 is 4wd, the front will not be a dana 44, It looks like it will be a 1 off currie fab 9" housing like the rear offset to the right lake stock with dana 44 innes C's and Reid racing spindles and alloy axle shafts custom made to fit the 9" center section with a open center section and 5.29 gears and willwood disc brakes, Iam building this front axle this wat to #1 make it stronger and #2 to save weight, It should be a 1 of a kind front axle whan done, Its overkill for the class iam racing in but thats the way i build things, Build it once and build it right, These axles are not cheap, The rear is around $7000.00, The front is more, but when its dont it will be fun, Next week i start on the fiberglass body
