Few side notes and some more sheet metal work done this weekend.

As I was working on the new differential, pulling the gears to send off for REM treatment, I did some comparison shots of the internals versus a 8.8 ford diff I have, quite the material difference! If the factory diff dies I'll fab up a 8.8 using a newer aluminum housing from like a 2018 mustang gt but for now I'll try the factory torsen, REM treat the gears and use a knock off cusco diff cover for some added fluid capacity. Gear's are from a 2012 is250 (3.727 ratio)

Sheet metal wise I finished up the firewall but still need to do the harness loops for the center net and main belts on the center bars of the cage.
