Driveshaft loop update
I talked to my friend who is working on building the driveshaft loops. He will be taking some time off to prepare for his wedding, but we did get some things sorted out.
Plan is to make one unit that will work on any C3 with the early crossmember. He has access to a 69 4-speed car with the stock shifter so he can look at it as far as shifter bracket interference. I also gave him my driveshaft info which will let him calculate how far back the loop needs to be to clear the tremec 5-speed and 700R4.
As for price, sub $100 still looks possible. Unless someone really hates the gold-anodizing, that's what we're going for (will look like a grade-8 bolt).
Current list is:
Les
1970stingray
1979toy
Hotbrakesracing
Marks69BB
Tshort
RodKnock
Maybe:
Grandsportc3
Beatershark
We plan on finalizing the design in the next week and have all the units ready towards the end of the month or early september. Shipping to me will be another week, and then I can ship them out from here (Texas).
There is still time to sign up.
