Making a Drive Shaft????

Who if anybody has made they're own drive shaft? I'm just curious dur to the fact that it look's as if I am going to be making a few here in the future, one for sure for my brothers 29 A, possibly my 54 Bel-Air , another for the gasser and another for my future build what ever it may be(it's in the work's found it just have to pay for it and go get it. Is the suspense killing you? I know Steve and Rigg's think they know but new things have come to light.)Or is having one built the way to go and if thats the case then who do you or would you use?

ha ha,


yeah ill be needing to make a driveshaft soon also.

I have done it before the secret is to have the u joint cups aligned front and back i did two for a 55 chevy one for a 700r4 and the other for a 400turbo

sounds like you have a hot rod in the works... the drive shaft is not a big deal. you need a good chop saw that won't flex. grind the welds off the yoke and slip it out. chop to size and reweld. I have a place that will do it and balance it for under $100.00 if you would rather not mess with it..
