Reply to "Seeking advice on some issues"

@panteradoug A lot of the car has been changed, including suspension. It sits on Ridetech coil-overs, but still use the original control arms. Brakes are Wilwood 4 piston calipers on two piece, outboard mounted rotors on all four corners, but that was actually done to the car about a year before it went into restoration and there were no issues then. The car was fitted with Group 4 fender flares and a set of wheels from PI Motorsports.

What is the process of sequencing the half shafts with the differential? Would it be recommended to go back to the original half shafts? The kit I have from SACC is a direct bolt-on replacement and the CV shafts bolt directly to the flanges on both sides.

In giving the whole thing some additional thought, I think I the biggest issue is probably one of my own making, in that I was operating under the impression that the car would come out the other side of this project as a turn-key build, given the amount of money that's already gone into it. But these things ultimately never wind up that way, do they? I talked to the shop this morning and he wants to put the car on a dyno now, hook it up to to gauges, and fine tune it that way. What are your thoughts on dyno tuning the car at this point?
