open banjo

part seven day seven into the modified.

I swapped out the closed drive center section on the '36 rearend, and now in it's place is an open drive center from a '46 truck.

today was actually spent mostly running around trying to find a gear set on the shelf somewhere.

in the end I put the rearend together still needing a new ring and pinion..

it had to be done to fit the engine/transmission combo.

sorry not too many pictures this time, just a couple before and after shots..

Been following the progress...looks good!

 

I wish I had the space, energy and drive that you posess. simply awsome work. Way better than some tv show.

 

Getting ready to do the same thing. Were there any unseen problems? Thanks...

 

thanks guys,

voodoo,
no, no unseen problems except for the worn gears, and the mess..

I kept it all '36 except the ring, pinion and center housing.
