| Honestly, I didnt take that many. Was more interested in talking to man himself. He's still working on one side of the body.. so once it's done he'll have the other made. 
I told Grant I was only interested in drawing the car... but he's telling me I should have a go...lol... his advise.. just go slow. Brad.

| Does anyone know what that axle is that connects to the differential? It looks like it can extend and contract.......

| ATOlink, did you mean drive shaft that connects to the differential? If so, it appears to be the same drive shaft (rear) i got into with a 70's model Chevy 4x4, running the cast iron 203 transfer case. The yolk is hard bolted to the case, which causes the drive shaft to have to have an extender built into it, so as the suspension pivots, the drive shaft extends and retracts. I THINK all of the 73-87 Chevy trucks run the extendable drive shafts for the front axle connection. I know for a fact that my '84 4X4 has that drive shaft. If you needed one, i wish i would have known, i just hauled it off for scrap a few weekends ago  .

| ATOLink, next time you see a big box truck or similar truck look underneath it. It will have a 2 piece (or more) drive shaft. The first shaft will run back to a carrier bearing and the second shaft will be a telescoping shaft to accommodate the suspension travel. Heres a pic, the splines allow it to collaps and extend when the suspensoin travels. Hope that helps

Brad, that must have been a great visit. I have spoken to Grant quite a few times and he seems like a really cool guy. Your 3D files look great. Hey you should post some of your amazing Costumes over in the Off Topic area. I've followed your costuming for several years and I think eveyone would love to see all the other talents you have.
