Well I pulled an old 8-3/4 center chunk out from under my bench and got it completely torn down.
Was a 2.76 open diff, but it's going back together with 3.55's and a suregrip.
Probably going to order up my parts from Dr.Diff. I've heard nothing but good stuff about him, and looks like he has what I need.
When its all done it will be replacing the 3.23 open that's currently in my Dart.

Installed headlight wiring kit from my buddy Rob (Crackedback). Very nice kit. Also installed his heavy duty battery cables and alternator bulkhead bypass wire. Re-taped most of it to appear stock
Legendary Battery topper, AMD battery hold down minorly tweaked with the original j-bolts. The ones supplied are too short.
Had to order a 17” diameter fan because of the /6 A/C radiator
Air cleaner hose kit and decal done.
Radiator overflow hose done.
Passenger side brakes are done
Waiting on new P-S-T 1.03” torsion bars (6-10 days) and bilstein shocks. Couldn’t help it. Had to accommodated the new springs with better shocks.
Moving right along.

You’re going to love the headlight relay and wiring upgrade. I just did it a few months ago and my lights are fantastic now.
The 1.03 bars are nice too, I’ve done them but not the shocks yet.

Blackout work on the front looks nice and not overdone! Good Job!

Tried to imagine if I was on the line doing a quick spray from below the car. The original paint was very lightly done. Borderline opaque the paint was so thin. It’s more of a dry spray look imo.
Looking at her in the garage waiting to not be working so I can drive her! Been working 8 days a week lately.....ugh.

Disagree with your disagreement. 
I used this as it lays very flat and thin.
No two cars were alike as they came off the line. So there is no real template, maybe a guideline!

Yesterday the freeze plug under the #3, #5 spark plugs broke loose and peed water all over the driveway at work, so I JB-Welded up the hole to get me by until I get my taxes back and my new 360 built.
So redneck!

Hey FABO!!!! At the moment, a new steering wheel is not in the budget. I like the stock wheel, but my horn cap was broken off of the metal backing plate. All I could find, were new ones on Ebay, starting at $99....So I drilled the holes out on my old cap, and tapped the existing holes on the backing plate with a 10-32 tap. Home Depot had the S.S. buttonhead screws and the horn cap is back on.
Nice day here in North Georgia. First weekend in many with no rain and temps near 70. Cruise time was great and a fresh tank of REC 90. Hanging with my dachshund buddy enjoying a cold beer outside the garage now.
Only bad thing is after a spirited winter drive is these damn Southern Sweet Gum Tree balls love to imbed themselves in your sticky tires! Guess next drive starts with a good rubber burn! Not big on that per say just want solid traction for acceleration!

It was warm enough to go out to the garage and stare at it, no space to move, waiting for spring cleaning.
Not an A-body but, pulled the /6 to make room for the 440. Going in the 64 in my Avatar.

2 hammers, 1 crescent wrench, and a DeWalt impact. Looks like you fine tune things about the same as I do!
