Sent these pics to driveshaft shop. Looks like it spun then caught and ripped quickly in two. Not a lot of grease shot out of it, so that was easy. Only takes 10 minutes to replace, but this should be happening.

Update: Been emailing with Tad at the Driveshaft shop. Cannot confirm due to destruction above but he thinks the boots I had installed were not the correct ones and he is sending out a pair of the correct ones just to be sure. Great customer support.

Moving forward or moving backwards?
1. New harnesses.
2. Moved Jake’s seat inboard 2” for comfort. He is 6’3” and needs to be centered under the door wing.
3. Moved pulleys and installed Katech tensioner.
4. Added oil breather catch can
5. Put correct fitting in crankcase vacuum regulator so it does not leak.
Still need to bleed brakes and find last bit of AC leak.
Off to paint in under 2 weeks.
Pics sideways for now. Uploaded from my phone.

Got some manifold gauges and PAG46 with UV. Going to track down this AC leak and fix it.
Bleeding brakes this weekend and then it is a little more sanding and bondo.
Off for dip like Cam's car in a week. Going with Macaw blue and 2 different flakes for satin finish with a little sparkle.

Update from Driveshaftshop:
I sent pics of my torn boot and told them it was my 3rd torn boot in 100 mi. He said it looked like wrong boot was provided for my car. The above came in mail today. Different and longer. New grease. These guys are great.

Macaw satin. Hoping to pick up tomorrow and do final assembly on Sunday. Should look a little different in full sun with blue and silver flake in the mix.

No chance. I'm a shade tree mechanic and no experience with a spray gun.
Steve, love the color!

Mount diffuser

Thanks. Can't wait to hit C&O September 5th in Atlanta. Then head to Atlanta Motorsports Park and thrash the heck out of it.
