Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

I saw that on another forum a while ago and people were going nuts about how those wrenches weren't strong enough and were going to bend, break, etc. Sheese, a crescent wrench is malleable iron and will probably be stronger than any stamped plate the factory used...

See some of that kind of "outside the box" engineering on the rat rods at BTTF.

There's a guy on the Factory Five Forum who seems to have earned "Zeus" status over there... all bow down to the god of roadster builds, etc.

(His build(s) are incredibly documented and gorgeous, but a bit too much "engineer"... not horse-sense)

The coupe version of the car has a driveshaft every bit of 3-inches long - it's basically two U-joints welded back to back. Take a look at the picture.

Do you think SIX, 5/16 bolts were necessary to hold the driveshaft loop in place?... let alone NEEDING a driveshaft loop?
