Pete - In light of what you said below, I agree with the others who've mentioned the MC.
As for my project - I've gotten the entire front end disassembled, and the engine & trans out of the car. I discovered that the rear IS a 12-bolt posi, which makes me happy. Interior is almost totally out of the car, too, with exception to the dash and the rear package tray stuff. Next step is getting a donor roof and welding that on. Then I can take the body off the frame and do some work with that before doing the body work. I'm thinking that paint & body will be done sometime this fall. The cold weather has been setting me back. I'll post some pics on the blog soon. Thanks!
