labelblack68 · 11-26-2012, 09:48 PM

Got most of my 8.8 finished today. I just need to prime and paint it and set up gears then ill be ready to test it out.

Nice. How fast you planing on going?

labelblack68 · 11-26-2012, 10:28 PM

not sure, but definitely not as fast as this setup will hold.

Who did the ends and bracing? That's my next upgrade just looking for someone to do mine and do it right. I plan on strange 35's and a spool with 9" ends. Probably just going to buy brackets to use my cobra brakes till I can afford some nice aftermarket ones.

Nice work.

I had my 8.8 built by gerald, Gearmesh Inc., He did an AMAZING job. He also welded the tork box's and the tubes to the pumpkin. It was axles, gears, diff., diff. cover and welding. I have not had any problems and not so much as a squeak from the rear. If you want it done right by some one local then shoot him a P.M. and I know you won't be disappointed.

i did it all just bought the brackets 35 spline axles and spool. Its a lot of tig welding time in it. this one is c clip eliminators but my other 8.8 im doing 9" ends with a different designed bracing ill build.

why not a 9"?

labelblack68 · 12-02-2012, 07:20 PM

heavier, more power to turn, drive shaft length change.

DIGGLER · 12-02-2012, 09:48 PM

gotcha. just seems like a fabbed rearend welded to the exterior of an 8.8 but those are valid points. not knocking it, it looks great. just curious.
