Finished assembly of the differential to the axle housing. Been a really long time coming but finally finished detailing all of the sub-components and fasteners. I posted a while back the details of the fastener restoration, the whole thing looks amazing. Haven't had a chance yet to add the factory markings yet.
Here's another picture of the components laid out so that you can see all that goes into this thing. Whole differential was completely rebuilt, gears look like new but are actually vintage.
I am really happy with the way that the different parts came out, the the right amount of tumbling, etc. to get these parts looking like they did when the car was first assembled. None of the metal is painted, it's the natural metal finish that was there originally.
Nest step is to finish recreating factory markings on the leaf springs, and getting them installed. The axle housing assembly will then get installed followed by insertion of the axles and bolting on the brake backing plates.
