I ordered a Denny's driveshaft today. Denny's balances their driveshafts up to 10000 rpm to assure there is no vibration. In about three weeks the car should be moving on it's own power.
There are still a lot of things left to do, but the list is getting smaller. I have been working on the wiring on and off. I now have the power windows powered through a relay so they only work with the key on. I have also wired the power door locks and hooked up a remote entry system. The remote entry system will hold the dome light on for 30 seconds when doors are unlocked.

The vinyl of the rear seats was good in the seating area but had rotted where it is hog ringed to the seat frame. Since I don't really know what I doing, I'm not going to say much about the recovering process, but here are some pictures showing the work.
The vinyl should have been hog ringed to the wire I should the pink arrow. This part of the seat had rotted away.
This probably would have cleaned up if the back side have not been rotted.
The recovering. Although not shown I did install a layer of cotton batting between the foam and the vinyl.
Finished result.
I installed a trunk divider with jute.
The seats installed.
Carpet installed.
JL Kick panel speaker.
Since I installed a deep speaker, I have to cut some bracing, I bolted a strap on to make up for what I cut out. It would have been better to weld this on, but I'm going to risk weld splatter burning something. I should have test fitted this much earlier in the project.
