Great work on that notch, Steve. Nice taping job, too!

 

it was quick to get some primer on there,

All, thanks for the comments,

Irish thanks for the link, I need to order something soon,

 

Not much happening, Little odds and ends with the motor, thats about it,

The rear end jigs was shipped, CA emailed me the UPS tracking numbers,

and Ricks has iniatiated a tracking number, I was told that they were at a show, then some were out, 4 weeks to build a gas tank, boy it better work!!!

 

Looking good.. remember a time befor tracking numbers? just waiting for it to show up? how did we do it??

 

How about it matt!!

 

I totally understand, but, I think there are so many vendors that take a order, take money, then provide "NO" customer service,

I got, "will be ready at the end of this week", I thought, wow just ordered it and it will be done at the end of the week, that kicks ***, that was 5 weeks ago,

so, If I wanted any info I had to PM the guy, but, if you took someones money, I think you'd want to keep them informed of there order,

the old days: it will be delivered on the 10th, it usually showed up on the 10th or near,

now: it's all guess work, you get a date, and if they people feal like working you get it on that date, or when they finish it,

 

True that ****!

 

Sit and wait, thats the only thing to do!!!

 

Im still pretty young and have always been around tracking but man you hit the nail on the head with this one. Im going through the same thing right now. Made it clear that I wanted my parts by this weekend, and what to you guess...no parts this weekend. Good luck buddy.

 

Its seems this is the norm from everybody, except Summit or Jegs,

 

OMG, by typing that I feel like a 16yr girl,


But I just checked UPS Track, and Ricks has shipped my tank, it was shipping Wednesday for sure, pfffftttt,

And the Jig will be here Monday!!!

ordering a pump now!!!!

 

Gentleman building cars on this site, I would like to personally recommened Scoogin-Dicky parts center in TX,

I ordered my engine parts from them last yr and I got a great deal, I think all the mains, rods, rings came to a little over $100, I usually get all my parts from a local parts place and I get shop prices for the volume I buy, they couldn't touch SDPC,

Today I ordered my pump, GM parts direct was the best price for $154 and change, but the shipping was crazy, almost $40 from NC to FL, insane!

Called my man Tim at SDPC, told him who I was, and what I needed, the best he could do was $216+almost $20 for shipping, which I was ready to pay, but I threw it out there that I could get it a little better, he said let me call you back, when he did the price was $199 shipped,

so, with all my little stories of the poor customer "NO" service this place kicks ***, he even called me back to tell me that all carriers had picked up and it would leave Monday, so I will do business there again!!!!!!

Try them, if you need parts!

 

Cool,I will keep them in mind

 

i love the fact that i can get alot of my 67 camaro parts within a 30 min drive

 

I'm guessing your in TX,

 

Well, now I have a new problem, I have caused this one all by myself,

it looks like the ATS mounts arent going to work with running the VA Sanden508 in the GM factory location, may have to build my own plates or mounts/engine stands that are going to work with the ATS headers,

this should be fun,

I maybe fitting the engine in the subframe a little later today, oh boy!

 

Wheres the interference? You have a picture so maybe we can help you find a solution?

 

I'll be setting things up later today, then I put some pics here, have .450 plate steel in the garage,

 

worked on the pool till about 6pm, then proceeded to drink beer and grill some food, a needed break, maybe later today,

 

Great Thread.

Curious if the F body alternator location clears the crossmember?
