TAHOE GT Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I thought I'd post some upskirt photos from the Shelby for those who may not have access to a lift. Taken from front to back. A question for those who know: What is under the black plastic cover on the bottom of the spare tire well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTony Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 is it me, or does the differential look small and axle look somewhat flimsy (thin) in these pics? or is it camera angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks filmsy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evilchris Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Looks right for an 8.8 to me... This is no 9" here guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpretzel Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Looks right for an 8.8 to me... This is no 9" here guys... How much bigger is a 9" anyway? I'm guessing 0.2" Sorry, ec. I couldn't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would have found a better location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they did not paint the axle tubes on yours either. Had mine on the hoist yesterday. There appears to be plenty of room for a 3 inch exhaust, vroom! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylan1521 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Anybody find a build sheet anywhere while up on the hoist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yeah, like stuffed in the rear clip somewhere? It's a beautiful thing... you can almost smell new! <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfarmdog Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Tying this back to another thread regarding twisted/failed drive shaft... If the purpose of the two piece driveshaft is to clear the exhaust cross connect, are there any issues with replacing the drive shaft with a one piece? I can't tell by the pics how much clearance there is between the drive shaft and exhaust. Would you have to change out the exhaust as well?

There appears to be plenty of room for a 3 inch exhaust, vroom! :D Unpainted means that I have less to clean-off before welding the tubes.

I can't tell by the pics how much clearance there is between the drive shaft and exhaust. Would you have to change out the exhaust as well? As far as DS clearance and the exhaust, I'll check when I put it on the lift tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAHOE GT Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 there is a solid 3.5" between the drive shaft and the X. When changing to a 1-piece ds, I think you'd only have fitment issues if you tried to install a lift kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
