Drive shaft is back from the shop and back in the car. Whoever it was who gave the tip about wrapping the front yolk with electrical tape big thanks! That made the job less frustrating.

Test drive was a blast! I've really missed driving her these past couple of weeks. Stopped by a friend's house on the way back home to help him move the frame and differentials on his '47 Jeep CJ2A project.

Now on to more serious projects...like the suspension rebuild.

I've always heard masking tape, as i comes off easiest and fastest. With the 5 speed, i just reach my hand down the shifter hole and pick up the front of the yoke to get it started.

Actually if you have two folks one can feed it through the shifter hole.
