That's awesome to hear Robert. Not that your not getting anything done...just that I thought I was the only one tired of getting up at 5am and going to work in the dark and then coming home in the dark and after everything was done, look at the clock and say "9:30....ah crap I'm not going out in the garage at this time of night when it's -20! LOL!

My only good news is that I work on what I can a dinnertime at the shop. That is, when I'm not working through dinner because we're behind on something.....

Good to hear your still sourcing parts though, that IS something.

Robert, If you ever want to try a 4.11 I have a complete third member with a mini spool you would be welcome to try. Also is your 8" one of the "beefy" ones that looks like a mini 9" with the extra webbing on the case? Tom.

Tommy,

Yes, the housing I used for the 4:62 was the beefy housing. I've heard these referred to as "War" housings. Like the 9" version they have the extra ribs. I believe some 9" housings actually had this cast into them.

I seriously considered building a 4:11 at the same time we put the 4:62 together. I have another spare rear available. I might take you up on that at some point in time. Be interesting to see what the difference in time might be if I could hit a T&T at Raceway or Muncie. Don't you live just up the road in the Smith Valley area?

Bob
