I like the black..

Yeah, I’m thinking black too. It kinda disappears that way. The white stands out to much.
I guess I’ll start peeling....

I had an annoying rattle in the dash so I pulled the dash back out, refastened everything, put jute on every surface so if any wire does wiggle loose it won’t hit anything.

New tires and wheels

God that is nice. My first car was a malibu 327 with the black stripe between the tail lights factory. I am real old I had chrome reverese with Dog dish hubcaps.

As did I. Before I graduated to slot mags.

I recently bought a Quick Performance 9” rearend with posi and installed it. Here are some pics of the installation.
It came UPS with some assembly required. Got a free Menards bucket out of the deal too. Pretty ingenious way to ship the center section.

I have a two post lift so I just lifted the car up and set it back down on wooden stands. I disconnected everything and lifted the car off of it. Pretty simple.

I had to put all of the studs in the housing. They’re knurled and I just used a nut and some washers to seat them.
Then I cut half circles in the ends of a couple pieces of plywood so I could use the same wooden blocks to hold the rear end while I assembled it.
The upper bushings were already in the housing when it arrived.

Next come the brakes. I couldn’t use the discs from the old 10 bolt so new discs came with the rear end. Ford uses a much better axle retention system than GM. The brake shoes are for the parking brake and are inside the disc hub. Axle goes in first then the disc then the caliper.
