Wonder if the recent Mustang Cobra independent might work, there are sure to be some in junkyards by now. If you take a look at a Cheetah (60's Chevy powered AC Cobra competitor) I don't think they used a driveshaft at all just linking the tranny to the rear end like Tom said. ~J -----Original Message----- From: Sandwich Maker [mailto:adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 10:11 AM To: mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: the Navarro Rambler Six...
