65GS 3 speed convertible basket case under restoration

[65GSConv]

Center of u joint cap to of u joint cap would be preferred method .

You might want to edit this sentence if you want a dimension you are looking for. At least I do not know what you are asking.

It doesn't show any markings on the drive shaft. But I'm sure its original.
Measures 59 3/4 centerline of the u joints and 61 1/4 overall

 It crossed my mind to do an edit for you John. I resisted though. Trying to be less hands on, on the forum. lol

Yes thanks for the measurements! Hopefully we get a few more to confirm! Would be a nice project to put down the lengths on all transmissions and have this info on the site!

I was able to pull my driveshaft today as well, so here's the measurements. center to center of u-joint caps = 59.5" yoke = 5.37" from trans end to center of u-joint.

Not much to update on,  but my carpet came in for the convertible . Hopefully they can start catching up on they're orders . I did start putting a few things on the frame but stopped because some of the stuff came in for the house project and guess which project gets priority ?

That frame looks nice! Keep chipping away and eventually you will get there. I'm in the same boat...house project come first. I do try to keep it even though, one house project equals one car project.

Great looking frame John!  I remember how proud I was of the chassis when it was complete.  Then the challenges started all over again with the rest of the project.  Keep up the good work!

Sounds like a few of us have house projects going.  Mine's nearing the finish line.

Well since supply issues have me stalled out on the house at least i get a chance to work on the Gran sports . Got the upper and lower control arms all painted and put together with new ball joints and bushings . Installed the control arms and springs today .

Nice work!

[cwmcobra]

Looks great!

Thanks John for the update!

We've all got to set our priorities, and while we love our cars, we all need a house to live in!  Glad you found some time to get some work done on the GS! 

Cheers, Edouard

Hi John,
I'm painting my house at the moment,  I cannot get a painter as they all booked out for 6 months, sort of need to get it done now as we have new floor coverings ready to go in. So my build has taken a slight back seat, although I'm still saving and buying parts.

Thanks for sharing your photos, its a great feeling to get those front springs bolted in, especially when its just a frame and you cannot use the weight of the vehicle and gravity to help.

Kind Regards
Marcus
