Remember the trans is in the rear and the drive shaft on the early ones was supported by bearings. If it got out of alignment or burned a bearing at rpm? Later cars used a Torque Tube to solve that problem.

Yeah but the problem is the wait for the guy to make them. He has to tool up to make them so he ain't gona make one at a time.

So what is a 3M car worth without a shaft and how much are you willing to pay to have one made? By now it is probably way north of 10k? As who has the know how and or patterns?
