did some work on the old girl, mainly fitted the front fenders to check wheel fitment and I am pleasantly impressed with how it fits. also clean 5 garbage bags of crap out of the garage and turned the car 180 degrees so i can more easily work on the front. \\

so i listened to icsamerica and put a flexible hose for the upper radiator and move the coolant temp sensor to the intake, i also made up some exhaust hangers (i used one of the flat washers that held the driveshaft carrier and welded some metal to it)

ordered the driveshaft before i left for rome, and its done! 400 cad with new yoke, flange, greasable u joints and shaft itself. went with a 2.5 inch diameter so that it wont interfere with anything under the car, looking forward to getting this thing running and driving again
