The last time I tried Penske they would not rent auto trailer unless you rent one of their trucks. I didn't try this time. Maybe because I have the 2 door short wheelbase Tahoe.

Free At Last !
 
Well boys my baby's home. We left Monday at 4:30 pm and drove all night we got to Mikes shop at around 11:00 we loaded the car on the trailer and put my old parts in the car annnd the rest waited until Wednesday moring after we got 3-4 hours of sleep. (I was too wound up to go to sleep.) Mike didn't do all the stuff he said he never got the roof quarters and tail panel ready for paint. But he did do the front sheet metal doors and trunk lid. He was supposed to make brackets for my rear C6 Z51 brakes he never got them done He was supposed to do that as extra for taking so long. The rear has Large old Ford bearings so Tobins kit won'''t fit. He ordered the axles with the Toirino offset to try to make it fit. But I'm no engineer to get the parking brake to work I'll have to figure something out. Can some one tell me where to measure for axle off set?
He did paint the bottom and fire wall, dash and raise the floor fo my T56.
The ride back was 17 hours with pit stops for gas food and trips to the head. It home now and I'm going to need a few days to recooperate. Like Toby Keiths says I'm not as good as I nce was but I'm good one. two in a row is killer. Please excuse any typos
Here's a picture fro m4:30 this morning.
Sorry for the small picture I'll try to get some a little later tonight

Wayne,

Congrats on gettin her back! I sent you an email, link, and pic to help identify the housing end he used. Hope it helps.

Shoot me a pic of your rear caliper when you have time, we did some solid works drawings for the pbr caliper bracket, maybe they will help?

Real happy for you, :thumbsup: - Rich

Way to go buddy! Who cares what Mike didn't do. You have your car and will get it done yourself. It sucks, but this way is definately better! There's a couple of pics that didn't come thorough, so I'm posting em cause I dig your car. Congrats man. Now get some rest and hit the garage tomorrow! :thumbsup:
