Another thing we picked up was a Heids full chrome rear end kit. can you guess what this is ? ![http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/jkucz31/IMG00016.jpg](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/jkucz31/IMG00016.jpg) ![http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/jkucz31/IMG00015.jpg](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/jkucz31/IMG00015.jpg) This is the shell its going in.

> [@TrueBlue](#): > > Oh shit, looking good so far! I thought Joe, HRK and I were the only old skoolers here 😃 well this isnt my car, but its a friend of mine. He does full restorations and everything possible. This car is going to be worth well over 100k when done. The rear end alone was 7 grand. Maybe i can get some pics of his 72 camaro he just restored. flawless it is and for sale as well ---
