Been asked a couple times how the old fish is doing. So i'll make a post on it, body shop hasn't touched it in two weeks. Taking me for a idiot (which some would agree with
) they are claiming they couldn't do ANY work until they got the lower control arm (I had to find..). They told me that for the fender too, fender has not been painted, nor test fitted so that was a bunch of
. They kinda got the message as far as I'm not buying that story and claim they 'will get it finished'
. We'll see how far that gets me.
In the meanwhile I've been gathering parts. New alum master cyl, manual brake conversion, inline tubing all new stainless hardlines, new raybestos rubber lines, new 11 3/4" rotors/calipers/pads/bearings, new wheel cylinders, brake shoes (pretty much 100% brake overhaul). New Moog ball joints, will be replacing the main and rod bearings in it that are suspect to be hurt from the old piston/valve confrontation from 2years ago or so by now. Will be adjusting the bands in the trans, new fluid/filter, alignment, blah blah blah
Can't wait to get it back to tear it apart.
So i can go click off a 13 now that i'm about 5,000ft less than i was in Vegas, I think i can pickup a tenth
