MATS is always a crap shoot for me because I don't have vacation time like I used to. :cry:

On the brighter side though, Jeff called today and my housing is done. Brake parts are all here too. Picking the housing up Saturday night. May have time to get a coat of paint on it so it can sit and cure before I put it back in the car. :D

Gathered more parts. Got the calipers and rotors for the front, smaller slicks, a Fisher damper, another timing chain set, and not one but two new cams. I have officially joined the .600"+ lift club. :lol:

While I was at the shop today I checked the front brake parts I got to make sure they are correct. They are. :D

It also appears there will be enough meat in the hubs to get them drilled out to a 4-1/2" pattern. :D

Got the rear back in the car today and the slicks from Seymour are on. Car definitely looks weird without the wheel wells completely full of tire. :shock:

Got to sell the red truck to have room at home so I can do the wiring/plumbing. Motor/trans are at the shop and ready to drop in.

Wookie's car will be done first I'm guessing.

You gonna get in on the Good Friday or Saturday thrash? :lol:

Packages started arriving today. Got a very nice looking 12 circuit fuse box, a handful of relays and harnesses, and about 1000 feet of wire and a terminal kit. Decent looking stuff for the money. :D

Here's hoping. I am going to the shop in the morning and see if I can get enough stuff out of the way to get it out. :roll:
