UPDATES:

You would think with the Hemi that this project would be moving along faster. I have the pieces of 4130 cut for the frame rails; I'm just waiting to weld them. Hopefully I can go weld them Sunday, unless I get off work one of these days this week.

So in the mean time I have been trying to go ahead and make as many parts as I can without the chassis so when I do weld the frame up, I can have a rolling frame in no time and start building the body.

Heres what I have started, the differential. Its not perfect yet, still needs some messing with. I also need to make a tight fit in the end for the ball bearing to fit into; the opening is a little large.
Unfortunately my paint booth is pretty dusty since I am preparing to move. I will have to wash that thing with lots of lacquer thinner before setting up in the new place.

I still have yet to create the cap on the rear of the diff. That I would like to make out of metal to chrome pieces of it. Im still thinking of how I want it to look, I will post some designs later if you wish.
