newer restomod

Very Nice!
Thanks for sharin yer work.
Sorry bout the 4leg-ged buddy, that can B hard to go thru, peace to you.

That interior is really sompin.
Also
I guess it's an auto transmis. I think 1 pic shows the reengineered mount's bolts on the outside of the frame. What model auto does it have? Also a V8? which 1…
Lastly, each drive shaft looks 'double' (sorry I don't have the correct nomenclature) where one part slips into the other. What is that style and is it just so yokes or ends can B serviced more easily?

Thanks so much…

They look like standard slip-joint driveshafts to me, although the front has double-Cardan U-joints at both ends (rather than just at the t.case). That's a mod I'm considering on mine to get rid of driveline vibration with the lift.

In post #5 you asked about the driveshafts. I made my comments in post #6. Then in post #9 you thanked "kobaltblue" for my response in a post titled "wrong responder". So it seemed you were sarcastically telling me that you didn't want my thoughts when you asked kobaltblue a question.

coupla posts - back channel will B better

I need 2 appoligise again.
I did not mean to B indirect. Sarcasum is indirect anger 2 me. I'm not angry.
I have had a lill difficulty expressing my self in writting life long. hop this clarifies.

I was responding to, and attempting dialogue with, another individual, and yes a second got in on that (not what I am seeking). Yes, not what I wrote in orig post.

If there is harsh feelings on ur part, that is not my intention. It is to talk w/this other individual. If you cont. to feel badly I'd incourage you to go back channel or respond to the email in my sig below. Tryin to keep the site automotive oriented…


back to our regularly scheduled program

Thanks guys, It has a 400 with custom made headers, C6 4.11 gearing, 4 inch lift with 35" BFGs

Chris the drive shafts both have CV joints you can do a single but with a lift it could bind and it would vibrate like crazy
(I think thats what your meaning)

One of these days Ill get it out and take pix's with the top off if it would ever stop raining here
