Terry, those pics you posted are gone, can you send them to me directly?

I haven't made any progress since my last post.  I've been traveling for work and trying to finish the addition to my house before my daughter is born.  Hopefully I can get back to it after the holidays.

Chris,

I'm in the Fayetteville area.  If you'd like any unskilled labor as help I'd be glad to come up and give a hand just so I can see what you're doing and how.

Terry, do you have a part number for the vacume switch?  I'm having a hard time tracking it down.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Terry, that looks sweet, I haven't seen that before.  Any idea what it costs and where to order it?  Of course I could do a search for it, but if you already know......well that would save all the trouble...

Thats pretty close to what I found here.  My local supplier can get them for $37, but, then wants to charge a special order fee, and then shipping.  I can't get the exact cost until I order it. 

I wonder if you can get them through summit?  No shipping and no tax on that order.......


Has anyone done any work on the tranny crossmember yet?    I'm hoping to start on mine, but need to get some time on lift at my friends shop.  I hate to take my car off the road too.  If I could find someone to do it while I'm working out of town, that would be great. 

Sure would be great if I didn't have to work.

I can't get them any cheaper than Transmission Center,I am special order also. I wouldn't be surprised if Trans Center didn't have them in stock.
