Trans is in the car and mounts are all welded into place. Getting the adapter all finalized that bolts to the front of the transaxle is, as I have mentioned before, what I consider the largest hurdle. All else from here should be time and money but not as difficult to figure out.
The stub axles showed up Friday as planned but unfortunately LG Motorsports never shipped out my ZR1 hubs. In fact, they had zero record of my order at all, so I have no idea WTF happened there, but they are on there way and should be here Tues. Sucks to lose a good 3-day weekend tho' (had Fri off) but will work on getting all four hubs placed, all four tires placed visually in the fenderwells, then drop a plumb bob from all four corners and start verifying crosses and wheelbase is as expected.
Sent a draft of what I need to a guy at Unisteer on Tues and then called the guy on Friday AM - hadn't even looked at it, said would get back to me, never heard back.

What the Hell is with customer service in the car world? There are good shops of course but it seems for every 2 good I get 1 bad - 66% isn't exactly a good average
unless you are in pro baseball. The ones that are consistent get my money every time; I have a short list of bad ones I still have to deal with but only if they are the only game in town on an item. I actually pay a little more going to some shops than others if they have been good to me, that is all that matters to me in the end.
The ones that are consistently bad are the "sell pretty much everything websites". I have ordered shocks for the truck, floor mats for my Vette and a cargo mat as well in the past 3 months and it took 5 orders at 5 places to get 3 things correct. One is so bad I basically paid for an extra cargo mat and will dump it on Craigslist v. try to get my money back at this point just to keep from shooting up the place.

Next on the list is to get the toe links figured out and then start figuring out how I am going to get the cherry picker swung around to start placing the engine.
