Most of the folks that know me, would believe me if I stated that I am not much of a follower, but tend to try to work thru an issue on my own first. One of my previous occupations was quite competative, and I finally figured out that if you go around copying other folks, the very best you could do was finish second.

I have only built (11) rear end housing assemblies and completed the most recent two of them this afternoon. When filing my records of these rebuilds, I decided to look at a copy of a rear end assembly article that I got somewhere that was done by Tom. I sat down and read thru it, and was impressed by his presentation. It was complete and detailed and I was happy to see how close a job I did at figuring out my way compared to Toms approach.

This may be along way around about saying that I sure wish I had just used Toms article from the beginning. I did end up with a few tools that are not mentioned, but I am a 'tool' guy that just looks for excuses to own or make one.

Nice work Tom! It is a VERY nice contribution to this group of good guys.

Thank you!
