Hey Bob,
U joints were changed when I got the tail shaft ballanced a year ago.

You balanced the tailshaft? Or did you mean you had the driveshaft balanced?

My apologies! I didn't know you were from down under, and I wouldn't have known the difference in terminology anyway!  :)

Hey Bob,
U joints were changed when I got the tail shaft ballanced a year ago. Seeing that I only drive the car on weekends during the drier period they are still fairly new. Did check for slop and they are snug.

Thanks for chiming in though. Love your 67.
You must be referring to my GT500 that is down under now ;D .

I am not sure. I have a friend Nez that sends me pictures every so often when he see's it at shows he is participating at.

Nez is a nice guy.
Helped me with the Teal paint in my PS pump.
