the Propeller shaft dangle angle
Is that a 30 deg. angle? I didn't check but I should have. Yep its bad at full droop I'm screwed, what makes it worse is the axle is offset, when the passenger side droops it is going to crunch. the only thing saving me is my shocks, they act as limiting straps. What should I do, I know it can droop further on the driver side. I am thinking a limiting strap right to the top of the diff. and a higher angle drive shaft in the future. Comments welcome (remember i plan on wheeling this thing for a while so improvements will happen)
Rear Axle
The pinion was sloppy so in order to prevent the cost of the fix from going up it was decided to tare the axle down and check it out. Nothing major was wrong but the shims were messed up, most likely from tare down the last time it was rebuilt. All bearings were replaced inside the pumpkin. I learned allot from this component rebuild.
Fish Plate
A shot of the fish plates I have cut out and added to the frame for support, after I have straightened the frame and welded the cracks. I installed fish plates at 6 points on the frame. I'm thinking that the fish plates welded on in this fashion will allow the frame to flex and hold the frame together.

Old Glory
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism. George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796_____________All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?" Benjamin Franklin, To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention
