Hey everyone
Won this auction on ebay, It is a handmade quick change rear axle crafted from brass in the early 60s. It is professionally built, bearings all around and axle shafts and drive shaft are untouched with extra length for tons of options for an application. Received the rear today and photos do not do this rear justice, it is an amazing piece of craftsmanship!
My plan now is to carefully alter the tail section of the Indy body to exploit the rear end. Once I establish the type of framework I want to fabricate (most likely an A.J. Watson chassis) I'm going to leave the body by it's side exposing the chassis and the beautiful components. Hope you enjoy the project as much as I'm going too! Thanks for looking.
