Re: VELVET DRIVE???? HOW TO MAKE IT WORK???
you have to have the transmition so you can pull the main shaft out of it and cut it down weld a flange on it to bolt it to a soft drive setup.there is alot of parts to it you have to have a lathe and you have to have the mounting plate cut on a waterjet or lazer cutter. you cant do it with a bandsaw and drillpress i have one on my boat oldsdrive
