    I am building a 62 special. Want 5 bolt hubs. Any advice will help. I may be subframing my 71 riv parts car an narowing the rear if i can not find hubs and axils for this thing. Can anyone tell me if i need to use solid body mounts, if i put in subframe conectors and a cage? Or can i just take out the mounts and weld the subframes in solid? I Know useing the riv parts will be a chore but it would be nice to have the 12bolt and those huge front discs.:) I will be putting in a 600hp 455 in this, so i will be modifying anyway. Thanks

    If you go to www.paeenterprises.com and click on the "Jim's Page" link, and then scroll to the bottom, there are pictures of the car Jim Burek was building. He goes by buick535 on the board. He may be able to give you some advice on building one of these.
