Please do post up pics of the axle pan when completed! I am planning a full body pan for my SUV, and the axle causes me trouble when thinking about air flow under the truck.

Thanks!

I have a love-hate relationship with it, LOL! This summer I was "out of love". It didn't get much attention. But, I'm falling back in love again. This winter will be the last "go-through" on the car. I need to:

-Build a fresh motor (which is really the easy part)
-Finish the diffuser, axle skis and button up the aero
-Mount the new hood
-Up-size the entire fuel system (it's right on the edge now)
-Do some tin work on the interior to dress it out a bit
-Up-size all of the intercooler water lines from 3/4" to 1 1/4"
-Cut and weld the heat exchangers for the bigger water lines
-Switch out the intercooler water pumps for some others I found that work better
-Re-locate the trans and diff coolers
-And do a lot of powdercoating, anodizing and painting so it looks pretty

.....now that I think about it that is a LOT of work!

I'll have it stripped almost all the way down to the tub before I start putting it back together. I don't know why I do this to myself.

I will absolutely post pics of the rear axle treatment. I think what I came up with is going to be pretty sano.
