Thanks for the comments guys. Today I started to do some more cutting. I guess there's no turning back now.

Well I haven't had a lot of time to work on the car since my last post, but I did get a few opportunities to get in the shop. I started doing the deep tubs install, but has taken longer than it should have. I originally cut a piece out of the floor and was going to stretch the wheelhouse, then I decided to do the deep tubs. I'm doing a lot of guess work as I can't measure from the stock wheelhouse location. My welder has become my greatest friend. Along with a sheet of metal to fill in when I cut too big. I've got the passenger side deep tub and new outer wheelhouse mocked up. I also put in a new trunk drop off. Now to mock up the quarter panel to make sure my outer wheelhouse lip is right. I did find though that with the deep tubs and the 285/35/18 tires I have....I have almost 2" more that I can go. May have to get some 12" wide rims. Anyone looking for a set of 18" Foose rims and tires?? Anyways...here's some pics.

I had to cut a rusted piece off the rocker panel. Will be an easy patch.




Frame notched.



Wheels mocked up.

Well here I go changing my mind again. I am worse than my wife Last night I got a really good deal on a Unisteer rack and pinion kit with steering shaft, hoses and polished pump (thanks to Dark Angel). I also just got off the phone with Blake at Killer Customs and ordered one of the Speed Tech subframes I have wanted one from the day I saw them. When I'm done this build I don't want to say...I wish I would have done this or that. Hopefully picking everything up next Thursday. If you're looking for QA1 coilovers or a AGR power steering box, both new, I now how them for sale. Will post pics when I get the new frame.

Scherp,

I have a question for you. I, too, have a fabricated Moser rear axle assembly (thank you, Frank) for my Camaro and started assembling it yesterday. I have never set up a 9" axle before, but it looks like the axles themselves are offset way too much to one side to make sense - it look like they are centered on the ring gear location and not the center of the third member. With the axles in the housing, does yours look something like this? Can anyone else confirm or deny that this looks correct?

Thanx in advance.

Mike

I think you may have the same issue that I did. When my axles were ordered, they were ordered for the wrong centre section. I have a strange centre section with a billet half posi, and they were meant for another type of posi unit. I called Moser and spent about 45 mins on the phone with them before we realized that. In the end all I had to do was cut about 5/8" off the passenger side axle and they fit like a charm. Mine looked like your set up before I cut the one axle. I would suggest calling moser, tell them what kind of centre section and posi unit you have and they should be able to give you the right measurements. You may have to take a bunch of other measurements for them. Hope this helps.
