Curtis,

If you have some time to break away from the hunt, give me a call if you want to get together. There is also a cars & coffee meet this weekend as well.

Todd it was great to see you and thanks for the help. Appreciate your assistance in getting the ball rolling. You're welcome anytime. There are plenty of wrenches to go around.

The rear suspension is in, pinion agile is set and everything has been torqued. After that was finished Jeff and I started putting the brakes together. I've got the rear rotors bolted and torqued, but still need to lace them up with the safety wire. Haven't done that for awhile, so there's going to be a few do overs.

I am really enjoying working on the car. Jeff is more OCD out the details than I am and it's refreshing. There's no rush and I believe we are both enjoying the process. Jeffs shop setup is very user friendly! He has done a great job of putting it all together and and making it functional. In addition to being air conditioned, it's very clean. Never have to hunt for anything which is nice.

Tu! That would be a lot of fun but the trip is for Johnnymac46's Baclor party. It's sure to be a full three days of hunting. I'll have to take a rain check.

:cheers:

Man I wish. Every time I am in the shop I'm wishing I could jump in and turn the key!

Life has been hectic since the car came home and I haven't been able to devote as much time on it as I'd like to. The rear suspension is good to go as are the rear brakes. I started assembly on the front brakes and ran into a fitment issue. I've been working with team at Artmorrision and Wilwood to nail down what was wrong. I assumed it was something I had done, but after several emails and a lot of pictures, it appears I was sent the wrong front calipers by Wilwood. They have been wonderful to deal with and the correct set has been shipped. Hopefully things will progress stead from here on out.

:lol:

I thought this thing was going to be ready for SEMA. :lol:

Enjoy the ride my friend.

Your gonna park it out on the strip in front of Margaritaville right?
