You guys are funny... lol

As with every part, there was a glitch but I did get my rear housing powder coated and new center section with 3:00 gear. The axles have to be returned as my bearing retainer/park brake will not clear them. (I did send it to them when they built it). So unfortunately, I can't assemble the rear completely, or the brakes etc. The bearing retainer almost made it through the wall, but I stopped myself.
So all I have is this for now...

Funny how no matter how much time, thought and discussion is put into custom parts it just seems like you have about a 50/50 shot of them actually working right out of the box.

I'm guessing the axles was what you were waiting for and now are waiting for again.

What else is happening on this beast these days. you must have more cooking than just the rear diff.

Fuel lines and painting parts etc are keeping me busy when I get a chance to work on it.

Moser is at least fixing it right away no prob. What bugs me even more is when someone says they will do something and then doesn't. A few weeks ago someone was building custom dashes for a second gen. I asked for a template on the face of it and was told it was no problem. This way I could tell him how far the dash could be lengthened for my application with the firewall shoved so far back. I was then told it was traced out and ready to send. Nothing.... So I call and leave a message saying I did not receive it.... Nothing again. So that is held up a couple weeks and now I look for an alternative. If someone doesn't want to do these little extra things just say so. Its not exactly a cheap build so its not like some one is thinking I'm not going to pay are they? I was more then willing to pay what he wanted to do the mod. Can I swear on here.... better not.

That is a weird story. I could see them saying no they don't want to bother. Or yes but I have a bunch of things on my plate.

I need you to finish this thing. I can tell you that's a fact.

Sorry to hear about the snag. You'll get it though. Glad to know progress is being made on the car. Unlike some others, I'll wait patiently.
