Perils of a project car.

Been helping my son on the project 67 Notchback he bought. The rear u-joints were missing the inner clips on the u-joint caps that keeps the drive shaft centered in the rear end yoke (and keeps the caps from flying off).

I wonder how long that would have held up when he started driving it?

It pays to check everything when putting something together!

Oh, what's a couple dents in the floor board from the driveshaft smashing it on every rotation. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been there.

Not very long in my experience.

Run a car with slicks,and house brand unknown u joint's. The new rear u joint,goes ka-boom. Luckily I had the foresight ,to install a drive shaft loop. Never again.
