Saw a fabricated diff cover in the clearance section at Summit, and almost grabbed it.  Debating asking a teammate to snag it when they are up that way later this week.  Looks like it was made to put a triangulated 4 link in a 73-87 Chevy truck, but I could probably cut the brackets off, re-weld one in the center, and use it for a three link.  Probably not worth the effort, though.  Stopped up and got to hang out with Patrick for a little bit, and picked up some parts that will likely go on the challenge car when the build phase actually begins.

On a positive note, despite FBM being a hive of scum and villainy, I made $45 in sales off the Trailblazer.  They showed up for the bumper cover, and ended up also buying a few interior trim pieces.

Ha!  I saw that this weekend and almost snagged it, but didn't know if it would bolt up to the Trailblazer rear.

I still need to do a little research on it myself.  Saw they also had a 8.6" gear install kit, but I'm pretty sure the 3.73 should be just fine for the challenge.
