Default what rear end?

Last wed as i was getting ready to go fast from dead still, i went to warm up everything,(the tires) it just didn't feel right, but i went anyway, at 110 mph i went to slow down, i though someone was shooting at me, pop! pow!, bang,Boom,Boom,Boom sheeee! (south florida you know) so i drove very slowly to my spot ,,jacked up the read couldn't see a thing wrong, from the outside,, about 3 hours later i was ready to go home, I said i will drive it until it want go any more. well i made it home,, a freind that was following me home so i wouldn't get stuck on the road, said to me " you know you don't have any fluid in your rear end ,, I said how do you know his reply was because it is all on my windowshield,, well I took the car in Monday for my mech. to find and fix,, he did he found the rear was locked with the pin jamed across the gears, the axles would not come out, tried a slide hammer ,,a press,, and a torch,, he had to throw away the rear end with the axels still (jammed,self welded,and stuck) in the rear bearing,,, (((those were my new axles from 3 days ago))) anyway he installed a new defferential, two new axles, aligned front and rear and gave me the car back,, he only said drive this one a few hundered miles before you do any thing wild. here are some of the pic. jim
