Rear is out of the car sitting next to it, picked it apart tonight and everything looks ok, looks like possibly some bad bearings.....Gonna take a better look at it on thursday and go from there.

I will have some pics up later on this week. Pulled it by myself. Wasnt all that bad.

Hopefully itll get fixed up soon.

Hows the weather up there right now? Is it about time to store away for winter yet for you guys?

Yeah this year has sank me financially so it's time to take a break. I will do suttle things to the car if I decide to keep it. Which is up in the air..

Rear end out and maybe bearings bad.
That would be cool if it works out like that.
Could have been a lot worse.
You got all the time you need to get it right before reinstalling it.

I just got the tigermachine back Home from The Motor Trend Car Show.
It was held at the Nashville Convention Center for 3-days.
Here is the link if you want to see a few pics that others took.
My cell just would not take pics with the lighting they had.

Found the issues with the rear end....

(1) Pinion Depth was set wrong
(2) Pinion was overtightend from the looks of it
(3) Pinion front and rear bearings and races need to be replaced, most likely destroyed from what was said in (1) and (2)...

I will provide pictures and what not for future knowledge to those looking to do the install or have similar related issues.
