This is absolutely badass. One question though; just like Cobras the driveshaft is so short - how do you allow enough rear susp travel without the u-joints binding?

Hey, all you need to do is slap in a set of all terrains and some mudflaps and you already got your apocalypse car ready

Its just over 2ft long(I think thats more then the cobras), the driveshaft is slightly low at ride height so it can move upward a good amount. If binding looks like an issue I'll limit travel. Locost builder never address this issue so I'm assuming it isn't one

Strap a couple oil drums to the rear

I helped a friend build his FFR Cobra years ago; iirc the driveshaft was 14 " long. FFR uses cables to limit the rear susp travel.
