Some guys, maybe dead by that time, had the ultimate durable non slip hot rod rear ends. He said… never made many such rear ends. Mainly for racers.

HardTimes,
I sure would like to see the "bulletproof" rear end that he made. Does he have drawings, pictures or descriptions? There are others sources to make parts for something that would be popular like this. Thank you. Gene
