Thanks to Moparts member STHEMI(Greg),I picked up a radiator and driveshaft,both are now installed....will be firing it up this week and making some noise....got offer from member to drag the beast to INDY for its debut....

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....
