Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Yeah, I think that is what it is called. It sure looks like a phone booth.


$ 218.00, with tax. Not bad, considering I had nothing to start with, so they had to supply all the yokes, u joints, tube, etc. and it is ready to install.

I am heading over to the shop now to make sure it fits. My Son says I am crazy to paint it, as you never see one inch of it, and they did spray it black. I'll have to see once it is in place.

Don, that's a neat truck the driveline shop owner made. Outside the box, but cool.

Yep, I agree Duane.


I just got back from installing the driveshaft, and it actually fits fine. I have mismeasured one or two in the past, so I always hold my breath. I think I am going to leave it black. No reason to put the relatively expensive orange paint on something that will never be seen. They seem to have done a pretty good black job on it, and when I look at it more tomorrow I will probably still feel it is ok.

I'm still getting blurry pictures with the new camera. Have to read the instruction manual and see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I need a tripod. But here is the driveshaft in all it's blurry glory.

Don

Actually, Don, I think the black drive shaft looks good. Goes with the overall color scheme, matching the frame and breaking up the orange trans and orange rear.

I agree, I think the black looks good. Boy, that guy has put in some time on that truck.

Yeah Ken, I think he said he has been working on it since '98. Wonder how much aluminum he has bought in that time? I guess it runs already, because he said the little 2.8 will light up the tires.

Don

No need for a tripod Don, Just hold yer hands a little more steady.

I also agree that black looks better on the drive shaft.

Yeah, I even hold it half way down until it beeps, then push the rest of the way. I never had blurry problems with the old one, not sure if this one is more sensitive, or if I have it on some wrong setting, or what.

I'm gonna do some reading and experimenting to see whats what.

Try putting down the beer and holding the camera with both hands.........
