Go to Sumner's build and look at how he is doing his drive. As I remember he is using the diff from a Datsun Z car.

A number of pages here about the rear-end build....

http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/bvillecar/bvillecarindexpage.html

..... At some point I might redo the center section (between the bearings) to a straight axle there with mounts on the ends to go to the half shafts to keep the suspension.

I'll have to look later.  I think not.  After you let me sit in the car I got so excited that I peed my pants and forgot to take anymore pictures  8-) .

Great looking rear end there Sumner, but I'm looking to build something quite a bit simpler. Thanks for the link, I'm going to spend some time looking at it.

In case anyone does not know where that tombstone is located, it's in "Boot Hill" in Tombstone Arizona, an old silver mining town in southern AZ. Tombstone is more famous as the location of "The Gunfight At The O.K. Corral" between the Earp brothers and the Clantons & McLowrys.

When we were off road just past Oatman we came across a small cemetary on route66, Mrs H and I found a tombstone that read, "Jimmy Hoffa".

You never know...

Actually, Marty's kid Nick has a shop called Advance Customs, he did all the paint, including the inside of the canopy. 
Remember that study several years back about what colors commercial outfits should paint their bathrooms... Blue was calming, made people linger... Red made people rush... be in a hurry to get out  :-o
Now you know...  :roll:

Thanks for answering one of those 'always wondered' issues about the view from inside a lakester.  I gotta believe it looks much different at speed.

Yea, the trailer is not in front of you and your eyes are about 20 inches off the ground, catch us at the WoS Mark and we will let you shoehorn yourself in... it's really roomy

That lakester is really done nice Bob. Do you know how much it weighs? How fast are you going at the first mile?

Randy, I'm not sure it would qualify us for 130 club, but maybe... I think the fastest quarter was about 214... really good salt that year.  We weighed it several years ago, it was about 1500, it has gained weight with age, I'm guessing it would tip the scale at 1700 to 1800.
Best quarter last race was about 204...
