Get that A-body Mopar 8 3/4 you want! - Hoosier Garage

[@frankparks4900]

This is the BEST way I have EVER seen anyone do a Mopar 8 3/4" housing! Great video! I have at least a half dozen of these C-Body housings saved up... You need any? I would trade or make a deal, just to have a couple done for myself. I am in N.W. Georgia at Mopar Restos.

I really like the way You thought this out. I'll be checking out the junk yards for a 8 3/4 so i can replace my 7 1/4. Keep the great videos comming.

Now I know what to do with the 3 C body housings that I've been saving all these years. Adam I have to say that you are on your way to stardom. Thanks for the great videos and to anyone watching, don't forget trucks and vans also came with 8 3/4 housings too.

[@HoosierGarage]

Thanks, yup i picked up one from an A100 a few months back.

Love your content efforts to make a video. The way you made the grinder chop saw effect. All that extra beveling and filing is a bit to much. Mopar Joe’s idea using a hand pipe cutter is much easier. It automatically puts a nice bevel. Now the solid rod and putting center section back in to setup to re-weld the ends and mounting pads close to using a housing jeg. Your engineer technique sometimes cost you extra work. 😊👍🏻🏁🇺🇸😎

[@HoosierGarage]

Thanks I guess..lol the filing just eliminate loose bits, and the bevels only take a few minutes each side. I like them a little extra for the fill metal to really tie in there. I am a bit extra. ha

[@HoosierGarage]

Oh you made me do a double take on his. his pipe cutter didn't leave a bevel, he did what I did. Mannn. lol thanks for watching:}

[@jmr1970]

Your awesome 👏🏻 ❤️👍🏻

[@codyknee2560]

Have you ever welded new axle ends on?

[@HoosierGarage]

@@codyknee2560 i thought I did in this video.

[@garryhatchett775]

Nice work! Where did you find the kit for setting it up?

[@HoosierGarage]

Thanks! Check out the description under the video. Its an ebay store the sells the pucks.

[@silver_cd]

@@HoosierGarage Is there a specific kit you bought? As of 5/22/24 I don't see a "Mopar" kit

[@HoosierGarage]

@@silver_cd the kit they have covers all. I have pucks for dana and Ford that was all together.

[@raymondjohnson2213]

When you made your first cut .From the wood, to the 1/78. What is the measurement?

[@HoosierGarage]

Im not positive at this point. Its likely a generic number to put the cuts where the perches will be, the 1 7/8 on each side is whats subtracted from the specifc old housing to make thr A body width.
