Hello, thank you very much for this video -- as well as the entire catalog of restoration videos. As a new owner and very amateur mechanic I for one will greatly benefit these instructions now and in the years to come. One request - if you ever happen to have a rear axle and differential needing a rebuild, it would be very helpful for us amateurs. Thanks again! Rob
