That was the point of the whole rambling post --- is that this is just the way things go sometimes when building these cars....
The part that you absolutely have to have -- gets lost in shipping -- or is on back order for 3 months... or arrives damaged...
I just laugh about things like this now -- because this is -- in the end - just a hobby... none of it is real important in the scheme of things.
I tried to build a car with a buddy once - but his reactions to things not fitting or a company that didn't have a part in stock - was to go nuts.... and I just couldn't work with him. I kept telling him -- if it was a part that HE was working on that didn't fit -- "well... just hot rod it". That's the way I look at it - if it isn't perfect - you just do whatever it takes to make it that way... that IS why we build this stuff... it IS why we have all these special tools and machines... if IS what separates us from the other guys.
