      @@3DPeter Just yesterday I bought a 1965 mustang fastback with the pony interior. The guy who had the car had bought a 1967 Chevelle from me about 40 years ago. I found his for sale listing on craigslist where it had just been listed three hours before. The car was about 25 miles away from me so I shot over and checked it out. I had some good items that I was willing to offer plus $7000 and he took it. The car has all the new sheet metal, floor pans, rear quarters, front fenders everything accept the engine and trans. I am thrilled and have done four mustangs to this point plus I am certified in corvette restoration by Bloomington Gold Corvettes. I never thought I'd ever find a 65 fastback that was a good deal.

    Made me a little nervous when the kill switch tab was tacked and weren't wearing gloves.
    I kinda feel like some of the accessories were an after thought, drilling into fresh paint when everything could have been mocked up before and drilled/painted over right away to prevent rust from forming VERY quickly.
    But I digress it's still a kick ass car!

    The drive shaft is not a “ RECIPRACATING MASS It’s “ ROTATING MASS “. There’s a huge difference , recipracating = is a forward then backward motion , like a hand saw would work . ROTATING MASS is just that , rotation . It goes around around around ! Just remember this about a light drive shaft .. you get the obvious weight reduction but what you lose is INERTIA . A heavier shaft will help with “ free rotation “ . Lighter shaft will still rotate freely of course but would stop its inertia rotation sooner than the heavier one..

    • @guysumpthin2974
      @guysumpthin2974 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope , depends on , weight torque…. There are many advantages to a live axle in some situations , try a pan car with ir = last place , daytona cup car , injected sprint cars , 1965 to 1970 mustangs vs 1965 to 1970 vets (many tracks , many years , so much proof ) better for tires , maintains alignment, more durable , typically less parasitic loss.
