Here are some more shots of what I did today.I fabed up a radiator cover plate which will need some corner's welded on & then some fender/core surport strut's.I want to use one of those cool anvil auto closeout's so laid the 3/8 rod end's on top of the core surport w/some cone bushing's I had. I will DA the alum. then have it powder coated before instllation.I stoped off at the bone yard last week and found a 3.5 alum. drive shaft out of a 2004 crown vic. cop car ($15.00). Shortened it 5in. and bang it fell right in place. Advanced Auto had some crossover ujoint's ($9.90ea.) that helped it fit my T56 slip yoke & 1310 9in. ford pinion yoke (Labor to shorten priceless).I am going to scotch brite the shaft and leave the painted police decal on it then clearcoat.Now all I need are some,cop shock's & cop brake's and I'm ready to roll.

So cool Scott. Not only (normal) awesome stuff that comes out of your shop, but now vintage parts melded in. I love the look of the radiator cover and fender braces too. Keep going man...
