Hi Jeff How long is your drive shaft (center to center) of U joint. It doesn't look like it could slide much more into the trans. When I was checking things out for my build . I thought boy this thing needs a short drive shaft.

Reading between the lines it sounds like you might think the trans mount might need to be lowered . Is this for drive line at the correct angles. I take it that the big fin or gusset on the T10 tail housing will hit the cross tube if lowered much more. How far down is the top of the trans mount (the compared to the top of the frame. I don't mean the rubber but the steel where the rubber mounts. I ask some of this because I think there is some problems with my plans . I know that I am building a coupe and the engines were lower 1 inch and offset to the right 1 inch. I am not sure if they lower the trans mount on my plans. I think if it were lowered it wound have better drive line angles. I have a pic of one of the coupes that shows the trans mount has been lowered and the cross tube dented for clearance of the shift linkage and the fin on the tailstock .

Your car is sure looking good .

Mark
