The front of the driveshaft is boogered up, i'm going to try and weld it and grind it down when the new front engine to driveshaft coupler arrives (the end with the bushing). Also found out that the super driveshaft is a larger diameter than a standard one, meaning that my stack of cooling fans won't work. More $, but it's worth it.

Sounds like your making progress. Trust me when I say that having the drive shaft come back out is not a pleasent thing to have happen. If your going to weld the drive shaft I assume that that you have a way to turn the drive shaft back down to size, and if so why not just make a new drive shaft? I've heard that not all of the super drive shafts are larger. My 2072 has the larger drive shaft but I have been thinking about putting in a new 5/8 shaft and put another fan on it. I need to go check some part numbers out before I decide to do that tho.
