thanks man... you car is a beast as well bud.. i was actually just listening to videos of ur car on utube! I wanted to hear what a big cammed 360 sounded like..
 
man that black with the cragers looks bad ***, are those 14's????, i just bought a set of 14's
 
I painted the center section today... later when the paint dries I will be installing it in the housing with a new pinion seal and gasket... Then I can install my Dr. Diff 30 spline axles and disc brakes.
 
Wasnt that the same set of wheels and tires up for sale? I guess you kept em lol..they do look great though.

Dart is looking great too!
 
No the wheels and tires are long gone.. I have torq-thrust II's wrapped in BFG's now...

Pics of the freshly painted carrier...

Center section is in.. I couldn't change the pinion seal right now b/c I dont have a socket big enough for it... will have to wait for next wkend.

I did however get the axles in and the rear disc brake caliper holder bolted up.. tomorrow I will but the calipers on.. I gotta tell you I have never done any of this stuff but it all seems fairly straight forward.

PICS of my progress today.

These brakes came with the E brake cables which I hope to try and figure out how to install them correctly.
 
Finished up the rear disc brakes today... I have no idea how to attach the tow E brake cables to the bracket already under the car... only one of the e brake end fittings fit into the bracket hole.. I guess i can always drill it to fit... Also where can I get the brake hose that goes from the hard line to the "T" on my 8.75? It looks like a 8" hose but I wanted the correct one.

I also installed my custom door panels today... very high quality from Toby... thanks bud.

I just did a quick search on Rock Auto and put in for a 71 dart with a 225 because my stock hose from the original 7.25 was the same when I put in the 8.75. Go to the brake section and then "hydraulic hose". I think they have the correct one listed there with a pic
