    In the imortal words of Wally (from Leave it to Beaver), "Jeez Beav,
    what were you thinking?"

    Well I don't know Wally...

    Would you calculate in an extra $772 for a rear driveline for a
    conversion? Neither did I, but that's the way it panned out. Let's
    see:

    $110 shorten and balance original driveline with new u-joints
    $50 custom parking brake disk
    $60 Wilwood mechanical caliper

    This system was inexpensive, but due to the steep driveline angle
    under extreme articulation it was tough on u-joints. So, back to the
    drawing board...

    $202 custom LT230 output flange with integral brake disk
    $350 custom driveline, double cardin jointed with long-travel
    splines
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---------------------
    $772 "Jeez Beav, dad's going to kill you."

    "I swear Wally, I'll never do it again!"
