Went back together easy.....will come out 1 more time (I hope) when it gets taken apart to finish welding chassis spots I could not get to and then paint the frame!

I now have my driveshaft measurements....will get it ordered tomorrow!
Driveshaft is in......
On the bottom of the driveshaft up towards transmission I have a chassis tube that runs under.....I have 1/2” clearance.....for the shaft to strike the tube the rear end would need to drop away from the frame.
I am thinking I need to put a small loop for more clearance.....suggestions on how much room to have between the driveshaft and this tube?
I would remove it, you will be banging on it constantly and it really doesn't serve any useful purpose IMO. Going underneath with a loop would only decrease ground clearance.
Hello again.......
Been busy here and am finally looking at the coupe again.....
Since moving back to the farm I have distanced myself from most if not all my help.....I have reluctantly decided to do the floors myself.
I bought an Eastwood bead roller......Dewalt metal cutter and a new spot weld hole cutter and a stack of 18ga material.....
I figure that if it looks funky when I’m done I will just get carpet on it before anyone sees it.
Update!!!!!!
Took it upon myself to cut shit out and weld stuff in.....good/bad/whatever.....
Rockers are in on both sides and I cut the crap outta the firewall.....will start building a new one soon.
-Adios!
Blew it back apart last weekend...finishing welds in hard to reach places and now running brake/fuel lines.
Still need to clamp line but happy with progress so far.
