70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover
Glad to hear it was only one totalled car in the family, not two. Sorry to hear about your Dad's Z06, at least they are still building those. Hope that all turns out ok.
I thought about an 8.8 for my Duster, but I don't think I will do it. The biggest reason was that I couldn't get a vented rear rotor on one, they are all solid.
You could probably sell the A-Body housing and axles for a pretty penny and find a cheap 65-67 B-body housing and axles to replace them. That would get rid of the spacers and put some money back in your pocket. That's the direction I am probably going to go, except I am going from an 8.25" and wont be selling a housing or axles.
Keep up the good work!
