You bet. I had some of the parts for this one on display at the last GSL. Plan to have this done in time for the next.

I was able to get the half shaft stubs out of the rear end, but the differential cover and drive shaft would not come off without serious damage, so I had to work with them as one piece.
I hand milled (my fingers turning an end mill) the U-joint bearing caps to make the recesses then made retaining clips for them from wire. The dampener flange was cleaned up and drilled for the bolts I milled. Balancing weights were also added.
The differential was textured to look like a cast unit then detailed with more machined hardware including an acid treated fill plug. A custom decal was made for the plug tag and a vent line was added along with a guide and clamp.
