haha, after looking at your old buggy, the color is very similar, this is a urethane automotive paint my buddy mixed and sprayed for me. I was trying to match the blue on the anodized shock parts.
All i did was disassemble the CV leaving the cup and stub shaft.. I had a bunch of 1350 driveshafts laying around so i cut a 1350 yoke off one leaving a few inches of tubing. I think it was 3 inch. then i turned down the cv cup until the tubing slid over it and i welded it on. I cut some length off the cv cup to make it as short as possible but still clear the serp belt on the engine.
I can pull a panel off and try to get you a pic if you need it... just let me know.
