Output flange

Jeff from Cam-Am Cars sent a photo of the output flange they have.  It's definitely the one I need.  The best part, it's brand new.

Axle flange

Jeff at Can-Am cars contacted me today saying they have a flange.  The guys are in CA for the Monterey Historics.  When they get back  he'll measure it and send me a photo just to be sure.  If it indeed is the right one, that will save some money and get the car back closer to race condition.

Rear axle

With the car on stands it makes working on it easier.   Dissembled the axle to see what needed to be replaced.  The one piece that showed real damage was the 3 ear yoke.  I'm going to call Chuck Haines at Cam-Am cars to see if he has one.  Still thinking about a upgrade axle shaft also.

You can see this is really bent.  Option is to heat and bend back in place?

This was hitting the rear suspension lower A-arm.

Mid-summer report

Yesterday being 95 degrees I decided it would a good day to work in the shop(ac).  Spent most of the afternoon cleaning and placing the car on stands.  Not a big start, but a start.  Now I can cleanup the oil under the car.

Back from Oshkosh

What a great event.  For sure, the most people and planes I have ever seen.  Even the camping area for the folks who drive in were turning people away.  That's the first time.
