Hate to do it

If you think the difference between a Mopar and non Mopar rear end means being able to afford the hobby or not, get out of it. Now.
it be better if you made the decision, rather than the wife. maybe put the car on the backburner for a couple hundred years waiting for the go ahead from the wife.
I sure hope that day comes, it didn't for a few of my friends. if a 7 1/4 peg leg is what you have, run it and hope for that day.
