I got an order from Khemoe Foy, he owns UPT hobby shop in the Virgin Islands. He wants me to "fix up " a new XBE for him. He said to do whatever I want, just make it fast.... OK, I can do that, so here we go.
He sent me a new car and I started with the front end. I added the SS sleeve's to all the drive cups and the CVR joint so the pin can't fall out. After shimming the diff gear backlash I chucked the housing up in the lathe and ran it up to 5000rpm to seat the gears, worked out nice as they are super smooth now. As you can see Khemoe gets the first set of Lower suspension arms from 7075rc. I'm working on the uppers and the rears now, they will all be black. I am using my new suspension arm bushings too. That worked out good to as there is no forward and backward movement in the arm play now. Steering system is next.
