Drive line issues - need some ideas

Hi Guys,

I backed my cobra out of the garage for the first time and felt, what I believe was the u-joints binding as I backed up. I have read that the drive line is to be about 3 degrees or so, but mine appears to be excessive. I have the car blocked up evenly on a level slab since my lift lifts the frame.

Included are the pictures of the car, joints, and drive shaft.

I have a 428, toploader, and 9". All mounts were welded in by Everett-Morrison.

Really cannot figure out where the bust is here. I think the yoke out of the trans needs to have more room for the u-joint to rotate-just looks to close and little room due to angle of drive shaft.
Any thoughts would be helpful. I have waited a long time to get this car out of the garage and on the road.
Martin
