Thanks George,

It is indeed a late model. 

I am worried about the "significantly more" shipping rate part, but more 
worried that they will mess up the car.  Also considering a road trip to 
Illinois the last weekend of the month!   20 hours driving in two days 
from here on the outskirts of Our Nation's Capital.

I thought through a few cut-up-half-shaft ideas but they seemed to be a 
pain to ship.   Two piece aluminum would ease some of the shipping worries 
though.  Crown bracket did not occur to me...and I may want one on this 
car when it is done.
