well congratulations. for the driveshaft length, when she's standing on wheels and you disconnect at rear you should be able to push it forward by about 3/4" to 1" I think that'll be perfect. no vibrations when driving 80mph on jackstands. thats good news.
all the best and keep us updated! make sure you have all fluids topped up

I have a full 1", so I think I'm good.
Like a numb-nuts, I didn't video the initial drive. It's rained like helll today, but I'm gonna get a vid of the (one-wheel) peel soon and will post it on here. Besides, I need to send something to my prior work mates so that they see I've made some progress.....
Thanks to alll for y'alls advice, even though I obtained it without even knowing what questions to ask. I love this forum, its been a godsend to me.
Special thanks to kalle, 2+2 and others that I don't remember now, their contributions are no less significant, but I can't remember the names right now. I apologize for forgetting names.
I'm ready for paint now, even though I can't afford it. And I have the full interior ready to go in. If my interviews in the next week go well, I hope to have a completed car in my sig ...... Keep your fingers crossed for me, if you're so inclined ......

I like the idea of silver. I really like silver frost. I agree with Kalli though. If you want stripes on a coupe do the GT stripes on the sides. I prefer no stripes with rocker molding. I like the subtle look.

None of the paint plans are carved in stone yet, but my wife has seen 2 '66 coupes in her parking garage, one black with silver stripes, the other silver with black stripes. They both look awesome to me. I'm not a big fan of the rocker stripes, I have the rocker trim and prefer to go with that. Any opinions are welcome.
I've got a cool video that I'd like to post, will someone please tell me how to do it so I don't have to search the archives? I never seem to be able to find anything with a search ....
