Nitrozilla Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Randy, I think you've got a bad link in the timing chain. Whoops, my bad, never mind, just a micron sized dust speck on my monitor. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltwincustoms Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 WOW Randy is all I can say. That rear end looks amazing taking styling queues from the Mark Williams Modular 9" rear end! All that detail and the scratch built 4 Link and Hubs is incredible, would have never thought to use washers to build on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Randy... you have done some awesome work on that rear end man! It is looking great and so is this build! Very Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 That is some superb work and detail on that rear end unit. Very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Um, Randy, um, I'm gonna need a list of shows that this beast is scheduled to enter so I'll know which contests to stay away from. Actually, you're one of the reasons I stayed. If I'm gonna run with the big dogs, (Ya'll know who you are), I gotta stay up to speed on current events. Please don't take this wrong, but your rear end is incredible. There's gotta be a better way to word that........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about calling it a Rear Differential/Axle housing or Rear Axle assembly (since he has the rotors and calipers mounted)?
