      This project has been a very challenging journey for me. Even though the 1957 Chevy highlighted in Chapter 8 is not my first car restoration, it proved to be frustrating at times to be writing while building a car. I sincerely thank everyone who helped either directly or indirectly with the writing of this book. With this text completed, hopefully now I can get the car completed.

      First and foremost, I must thank my wife, Kathy, for persevering through yet another book project while juggling the demands of the household and our twin boys. It has proven to be quite a challenge for both of us. I am truly blessed to have such a kind woman in my life supporting this endeavor and me. You never reminded me how difficult this was on all of us and instead you offered support and continuous encouragement, even when I questioned why I was doing this again. This book has become a family affair that is not just my book but rather our book. Thank you.

      The entire team at Currie Enterprises, specifically Brian Shephard, treated me like part of the extended family and opened up the entire shop, parts, and mechanics for this project. Without their knowledge and willingness to share, this book would have never been possible. There was never a time when they did not accommodate any of my many requests for support and help. The Currie team recognized the need for a Ford axle book and even helped push this book to hopefully be considered the ultimate reference.

      I thank Earle Williams for all of the great support, producing truly awesome hardware, and even the shop tour and guidance on the car. It is people like Earle that make the performance and aftermarket industry great.

      My good friend Tony Nausieda reviewed the text countless times for accuracy while working on his advanced degree. I am fortunate to have a friend who is willing to sacrifice sleep and his own projects
