Well out with the old ones and just getting started getting ready for some new ones. I have been getting rid of some old parts we will no longer use and have traded and bought some used parts and pieces here and there. We will be starting to mini tub it here shortly.Have a dana on the way to put under it.Picked up some 440-1s some time back that we will be putting to good use. Complete disk brake front end we picked up on the way back from Indy.Getting completely rebuilt. Can't wait to see how these look under the car Last edited by blown572dart; 02/15/10 08:56 PM.
