Sounds good Pete !

You can tell this is a Rick Bottom Build.

We had to use our inboard mount 32mm rear sway bar, becuase Rick is putting on 27" rear wheels.

I'll never understand how we became friends because the only color Rick likes is Rick Bottom Orange and I only like Pedders Red. Rick doesn't know if the clutch will even fit, but it is perfect in Rick Bottom Orange!

Now that Rick is hooked up with Bruce Raymond of Raymond's Performance he calls him all the time. He doesn't call me any more

He sends me PMs with less characters than a Tweet :(

It's ok Pete, you can come tear down and rebuild my car anytime. I'm shipping our your product sometime next week.

Diff modification details: Detroit Truetrac Differential

The Detroit Truetrac was the first helical gear differential ever introduced into the automotive aftermarket as an Eaton brand. It remains the leading helical gear-type limited slip differential in the industry. Detroit Truetrac's proven helical gear design eliminates the need for wearable parts, resulting in maintenance free traction recognized not only for its toughness, but its smooth and quiet operation as well.

Proven design, low cost and effective performance all make the Detroit Truetrac limited slip differential the ideal choice for a wide variety of vehicle applications. No maintenance - Just Traction.

Lingenfelter AAM 3.70 gear set : stocked and sold by Jannetty Racing these gear sets are manufactured by the same company that supplies the factory gears. They are quiet smooth and strong. Don't base you gear purchase based on price alone, these will save you money in the long run.

Ted's billet side plates- I will let Ted elaborate on those.

Pedders bushings.

Ted's rear end tech. Tony is a master at setting these up.......he takes his time and does them right!

RBD · 09-01-2012, 12:35 PM

Detroit TrueTrack no clutches to wear out, little to no maintainence.

RBD · 09-01-2012, 04:28 PM

Here is a good video showing how great the Pedders stuff works.
I know many of you have seen this but for you guys that haven't
it worth a look. The Peddders stuff is amazing.......you can tell something
is better just backing out of the shop the first time !
