AnthonyG, it's going to be a standard hot rod; 30 coupe on a 32 chassis with 8BA, 39 box, TT, 40 rear end, big and littles and fender less.

Mitchell Overdrive was kind enough to cut splines on a solid shaft for me,
might have been around 15 years ago. The turn around time is dependent

I have an early and late '32 rear ends. Can the bells interchange? Anything else?
