Got some more work done today, since I shortened the wheel base I needed to shorten the drive shaft, so I just went for it. Cut the weld holding the end on and knocked it off with a hammer. (I did make an index mark before removal), using a hose clamp I marked off the 9" I was removing and cut it with the sawzall. Re insert the end and make sure the index mark was lined up, weld it up and dress it with a sanding disc. came out nice now I have to clean up the rest of it and paint it.
