Awesome updates, Marty! You have made tremendous progress and it's coming together! Like you said, the last 10% takes 90% of the time.

Not much longer! :dance:

Thank you Matt and sometimes I just wish I had more free time or less hobby's

Tell me about it!!! I've been waiting almost two weeks to do the break-in for the rebuild on my motor. So much going on with the kids out for Summer Break.

I was talking with Ron Wilson and we laughed about all the things that happened yesterday. It was just one of those days
where if it could go wrong it did. So today (the 6th) I went back out to the garage and decided to work on the cars issue's.

I finally figured out why it got stuck on the lift. Apparently the front end settle all the way down to 3" from the ground.
I originally set it at 4.5" and I am guessing all of the parts that went back on the car lowered it.

Here we go.
