finally killed it!!

it stood up, burned out, drifted, dragged, boosted, sprayed, and finally its dead.

took out the ring gear on my drum brake 10bolt. its started as a posi unit from in my l69 camaro. 3.73gears now its one tire fryer, and missing some teeth on the ring gear, and spiders are bad. lucky me i got a disk brake 10bolt form a gta, picked it up for 100$ lsd in good shape. new brakes. even got the proportion valve. dont know gears yet. now for the install. ill get some pics tomorrow. and i am going to install the poly bushings while i am in there.
