Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

thanks guys, oh man I'v gotten so many grey hairs in the past couple years and I'm almost 32 yrs old. I directly blame that all on stress! The list of things I stated where about half of what I really do and have goin on. The new house will be a nice starter home and I can squeeze my 51' into that garage so I can work on it in peace and dryness! SO that frees up a garage I'll prolly drag something in and store or tear down for a build. Once geronimo is done I'll have that garage. So I should have 3 small but workable garages. Non of which are organized so I'm really pulling for the 3rd to be super tighty. I'll also need more tools oh the problems we have today, not like I have to worry about food or water.

Steve aleve- when setting up the ujoints you have to make sure you have your steering column about where you want it, and it has to be in there tight. Then you most likely will need the heim joint(s) and your ujoints. The bottom ujoint is a splined joint, make sure you have right diameter and spline count. Then the rest of the joints will be 3/4 D shaft in my case. I got about 2ft of D shaft if I remember correctly, better more than less. You could use some dowel rod to moch all this up. Then just start trial and error on getting the best angles you can and clearing all the important things. Leave some room for engine torque etc. It takes quite a bit of time to moch it all up and then to drill out the D shaft for the set screws, I hate that part.
