Anymore I do not know of anyone restoring driveshafts after Quanta Restorations quit doing them. When I restore ours I heat up the whole flange area and then using a hot glue gun I inject the plastic in until it come out the other side. This is done purely for aesthetics as the replacement u-joint uses an inner clip to hold it. I also add a little color to it to maintain the original appearance.
