man i think i ***'ed up and ordered my drive shaft about 1/2 inch short.
Its in the trans about a inch out of 3 inches of yoke sticking. But then again the rear end is sagging so maybe it"ll push in some more.

Anyways, my new wheels will be here thursday. The last piece i have left to actually drive my car will be here wed-thursday. Sooo finallyyy i might be mobile again!

I got a Go-Pro tooo! I wanna get some in car videos of me and you guyS.


Maybe on a rear fender of one of you fast guys!

Orlando? Saturday? For what? And I'm scared to drive it that far. Well on e85 atleast.


And I still havent tried the big mickeys out yet. Ill have wheels Thursday afternoon. And tomorow ill have this part I need for my shifter and ill try my trans out. I think somthings still wrong though maybe. The transbrake wasn't working and I only had 80-100 psi of line pressure when I should have 220. Tonight I pulled it back out and tore it to a bare case and checked everything out again. So hopefully I fixed it. If not I'm gonna be in abad mood for a few days.

I know the feeling. thusly why I am not a fan of auto transmissions. you can look over every peice of it and not see anything wrong, but it still won't work right for some random reason. look at the other thread, big f-body meet in orlando. if I get my car together you can ride with me if you want to go. should have all my parts by then, so I just have to put it all together

If one of us don't have one of our cars together by this weekend I'm gonna scream.

I've pulld my trans out over 5 times this week and I still can't fgure ou why I don't have any line pressure. If I don't have it figured out by this weekend I'm taking it to FTI and having them look it over.
