Driveshaft in

The driveshaft was one of the few things I haven’t had to buy, the unit in the car was correct, stock, and appeared in decent, if dirty, condition.

Still, wasn’t going to put a rusty, covered in red overspray, worn out driveshaft under the clean car, even if it is bound to get thrashed.

Banged out the original u-joints.  They didn’t look too bad actually.  Since the car had an open 3.07 rear, maybe it hadn’t lived too hard a life?

 

Transmission yoke – funky but usable

Cleaned it all up with a bit of steel wool and degreaser.  Hit it with some primer and some light machine gray rattle can, resulting in a decent looking part-

And installed in the car – these pictures aren’t very good, but you get the idea-

 This part wasn’t too hard, and is a prerequisite to hanging the exhaust system, which is here now.
