Got my new spool, bearing and shim kit, and billet housing ends from Dr Diff. Was able to cut my axle shafts with my grinder, but something is really tight. Guess I'll send the axles out and have them resplined. If something shows up, I'll just get new axles. Found a Nash/Richmond 5 speed on RJ. Bought it with Long 5 spd vertigate and Ram clutch setup. Should have it mid week. In the mean time, I took a couple of vacation days and hopefully I should have the frame rails in by next week, too. Didn't get home as early as I wanted to today, but got to modify a set of collectors. 2 1/8" x 3 1/2" hookers modified to 4". Stock length without primary slip is 12". New collectors are 17 1/2".
