9\" Rear Question

FYI - having hunted those grounds, I say "good luck" in your search. I gave up after a year or so and just had a housing made to my specs. The mentioned autos are very hard to find anymore. You can find the pieces at the swaps, but expect to pay a premium from a knowledgeable seller. Luck plays a big part in it too. Hunting parts is great fun, but after a while your time becomes $$$.

Accaully I found a junk yard about 10 minutes from my house that I didnt know existed till about 2 weeks ago.. Its like a grave yard for cars from the 40's up.. it was unreal to see all the old cars.. I needed a driver side door.. I found one in perfect shape for 40 bucks.. I know there probably have a rear that will fit..
