took driveshaft to machine shop for installing two u joints&spin balancing, suprise,end of shaft where u joint sits is cracked(split)anyway they had a nos 1 left in stock!so he is going to cut the old end off and then remove 1 inch from the shaft to make it easier to instal(was a C-body and about and inch to long)and install&weld the new end cap...put the ujoints in it and drop it into the spin balancer. should be done friday and then i can install the driveshaft,only a few items left to do,hoping to fire it up 3/30 for my birthday present to myself....
