Driveshaft fab.. - Sep 15, 2012

So I got my solid 1350 u-joints and my yokes from Strange, and we set of making the drive-shaft. I also got the larger pinion plate for the mustang rear end so that I could use the larger 1350 style bolt on rear carrier, which I got as well. We had to bore the ends of the 3" DOM tubing to accept the yokes, so we fitted the 90 degree head to the mill, and used a boring bar to accomplish that goal. we would have used the lathe but the hole in the middle of the chuck isn't larger enough to fit the 3" shaft in, so we had to improvise. Centering up the shaft for boring was a little bit of a chore, but once it was dialed in, the boring went smoothly on both ends. You can see some pics of the process below, along with the assembled (not yet welded) shaft in place. After this we will adding some framework and driveshaft loops in the floor area of the frame, and then it will be on the the body.... :)
