Default thanks madman and thunder

I posted this in the sponsor feedback but i know madman checks this forum often and wanted to make sure he got it....

Just got the outlaw offset control arms from madman, low mount alternator bracket, and the entire manual rack from madman.....

first off they kept in touch the whole time to let me know about stuff on backorder what was shipping and what wasn't and what the status was... typical thunder racing customer service IE great.....

Onto the parts..... Madman's stuff is fantastic quality.... talk all you want about piecing together a manual rack with pep boys bolts, NAPA brackets and a bump steer kit your uncle made from old dryer parts but i'll tell you what PAY THE SIX HUNDRED FIFTY BONES AND LAUGH WHILE YOU DRINK BEER with all the extra time you aren't pulling your hair out looking for parts to finish the project.....

I slapped this thing in in about 15 minutes... fit so perfectly I was sure something had to be wrong..... had so much time i put the offset lower control arms in...... slid in like they were slathered in ky jelly.... perfect fit once again...... it was so easy a caveman could do it...

Then I mocked up the alternator bracket..... uhhhhh ohhhhhhh.... this thing ain't straight.... madman finally fucked something up..... i'm gonna call him up and tell him he has a lazy eye..... ooooops my bad, I should talk crap when I actually HAVE the alternator sandwiched in there cuz it ain't gonna be straight just bolted up with the spacers and no alternator..... checked it with the alternator... what a friggin surprise, fits like GM made it... damn..... the man is good..... no lie..... my QA1 shock mounts come in tommorrow. I could probably ask the UPS man to slap them in while I sign for the package cuz chances are it'll be that frikkin easy...

Thanks thunder racing and madman again.... Tonight I actually finished a project without LAUNCHING a 1/2" craftsman ratchet fifty feet down my street out of sheer anger when stuff don't fit...

100% agreement. Both Brian and Jonathan from Thunder were great. Put up with my BS. Ordered completely new rear-end set up. With all my "special" needs, they were able to order, send and received by me all within a 2-3 week period. Outstanding . Now if the weather turn around, we could get the new rear-end installed.
