CDR, I like the drive shaft. Looks a lot like the one in my 68 Road Runner. Had it built by the shop that did Bob Glidden drive shafts. Double tube stainless steel.

Looking forward to you getting yours running!

AWESOME Charlie !!   I think you are going in the right direction making it a street car. Racecars tend to break something expensive fairly often and  enjoying it when you want to and can is just not happening if it is a racecar. By the way, did you know racecar spelled backwards is ..... racecar! A palindrome !!!
Get it ready for paint. Shoot some nice paint on it and cruise it!
The A/C must feel pretty good and will be a welcome addition come this summer!  It will be here soon enough!!
