    there are lots of after market axles, lucky seven and super bell to name a few. I used a super bell, havn't had any problems. I think there are some guys on here that will drop originals if you want to go that route
     
  2. Where is a good place to get patch panels

  23. I'm a convert. I used to be a tudor snob, but seeing a 4 door chopped highboy 32 recently made me realise how great these can look. Yours is heading down that path too. Keep it up!
     
  24. Nice dude. Good job
     
  25. Went to the swap meet today and picked up some cool stuff tires wheels ladder bars and a crome alternator picked up the wheels from HOTRODPRIMER thanks for the great deal
