buy mine lol
if you still have it come summertime when im working more I might do that.
I can tell you have boatloads of time into this but do you really have a lot of money into it? Seems like you’re able to shave costs on things like silicone instead of gaskets lol
if your talkin bout the trans gaskets , thats what even stock was ya r-tard . there in no gaskets so untill ya learn s.t.f.u
The fuck kind of a comment is that?
it depends on where, like john said the trans uses rtv from the factory. If there is a gasket its replaced. I do not cut any corners when it comes to stuff like that. I replace stuff that doesn’t necessarily need replacing, but as long as I have stuff apart and have easy access to it its replaced anyway.
I scored the autometer monster tach with built in shift light on the local craigslist of all places for cheap.
and since I couldn’t find a grille that I was happy with I made one that has the correct amount of bars and spacing correct for the movie car.
front of the car with the temporary grille.spacing is off throwing off the whole front end
versus one of the original cars
and the one that I made for my car.It still has to be cut for the grille opening and polished/painted.
Even more attention to details. Nuts.
Want to see some pics. of yours. 
nice to see you are anal retentive about details like the grill and hood and lights…that tach is that like the one used in the original ??? jw is all
yes the tach is the same.
sweeeet…nice pickup…especially locally
i was rather surprised to find it myself
Last Thursday I pulled out the center section out of the rear end to replace my ring and pinon. the car has 3.00:1 gears which were waaaaaay too long or doing anything but 85 on the highway. The car had no low end at all, so I ordered a set of 3:70s to replace them. that should be a good all around gear. So I spent the last 2 days with the help of my buddy jim swapping them. It was my first time doing gears but for the most part just very time consuming pressing on all of the bearings without a press. Then it turned out the tip of the pinon was a hair too big to fit inside the new or the old pinon case bearing so that required us to turn the tip of it down until it slid into the bearing properly. Once that was done it came time to shim everything so that the gears meshed properly and the backlash was in spec. It was all trial and error using the right size pinon shim to get the contact patch right and also trial and error setting the differential side to side just right in order to set the depth of the teeth.each time required us to paint the gears to see where the gears meshed, based on where the paint rubbed off told us what way to shim the pinon or move the diff to the left or the right to get the contact area correct. the contact area to get it just right It took about 5 hours and about 50 attempts but finally we got it perfect. Its not rocket science but definitely a very time consuming and tedious job. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics
the start
all dissembled
new pinon and ring gear assembled
pinon tip polished
all assembled note the painted part of the ring gear showing the contact patch.
wow thats serious. kudos to you david. is this nessecary for all rear end gear changes?
dave, i know girls dont know shit about cars but this car has GOT TO GET YOU LAID 150% more…
150% x 0 is still 0 :haha
repz!
lol
thanks, each brand of rear end is different, mine is easier because the center section comes out, on most other rear ends it doesnt so you either have to pull the entire rear axle or do all of this in the car.
+rep!!! :rofl
