The two steps forward one step back bug bit again last night........
I took the car to a local cruise night (see seperate post in the lounge). The last couple of times I drove the car there has been a disturbing clunk coming from underneath that has gotten louder. I thought I screwed something up when I put the front end back together but after I got home last night I took a look and everything under the front is as it should be. I know the center carrier bearing support for the driveshaft is a weak point in these cars. When I went to grab the rear driveshaft it was loose as a goose, so I think I found the culprit.........and my next project. Always something. Other than that the car drives great, new carbs are very responsive and the new correct radiator keeps things noticeably cooler than the previous unit.

Car looks great !!
Sorry to hear about the next issue... I bought a replacement for my '62 a number of years ago now and the pressed metal stand was so cheesy, it bent under hard acceleration and would rub inside the frame. I had to remove it again and weld supports on both sides..

I thought the billet support required a slip yoke on the rear half shaft ? Is there one with the rubber around the bearing for shaft movement ?

The car looks great! With so much history (and family history, to boot!) behind it, putting it back to the correct non-SS configuration was absolutely the right thing to do

Picking up a center carrier bearing (not the billet one) from NAPA tomorrow morning, hoping I can get to replacing it this weekend.
