Bob Tullius was a good friend of mine back then.
I decided to build a GT 6 into a production racer and spent 3 days at
the group 44 shops in VA learning everything there was to know about how
to build the car. Bryan and Lankie Furshett (misspelled I know) were
great.
A few weeks I repaid their kindness by discovering a new half shaft that
would bolt up with just a little machine work.
They had used a sliding spline shaft (axle) and it would tend to bind on
hard aceleration. I discovered that the shafts wout of a Datsun 510 (I
think that is correct) would bolt up, and it used a ball bearing slider
that would not bind. Lankie was amazed when he tried it.
Cheers, Larry Dent
