    Damn, sorry to hear Curtis. Had the same thing happened to me with my grandmother. Scheduled a trip to see her and ended up making her funeral instead. Condolences

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it.

    I put in a call to find out where the hell my axles are yesterday. I didn't hear anything back, hopefully any time now. I could really use some WOT right about now. lol

    I got the front brakes completed yesterday. I had to put banjo fittings on the front calipers to clear the exhaust. The passenger side just cleared on full extension and compression when the wheels were straight, but when they wheel was turned for what ever reason, it would not have been happy.

    Soooo.... I got the axles yesterday. They were still screwed up. The OD of the flange was left .100" to big. I threw them in the lathe and put a flapper wheel on the grinder and let her rip. It was a relief to finally button everything up. I'll get them bled when I get back in town and hopefully get to the track next Wednesday with weather permitting.

    Looking good. Looking forward to hearing how you do at the track again.

    Remember videos. The snow and ice is just now melting here.

    If vendors listen then they should bolt right in.

    Your right. Lol That poor thing either needs an overhaul or a trip to the scrap yard.

    That's what they call a "DIRECT BOLT ON", in the high performance industry....

    A factory location coil over fits on an SN95 with larger tires? Looks a lot easier then a fox.

    Finally got everything bolted up last night and the tires just touched the springs. I think they would have been fine with the 275 et streets.

    The car if finally back together and off jackstands. I had a couple of brake line flares that were busting my balls but everything is finally dry. If all goes well at the track this Friday night there's a chance I'll be headed to Bradenton next Friday. I just need to make sure I can swing it. I can't wait to take the car for a ride tomorrow, I want to go tonight but finished up to late. Odds of my wife kicking my balls in was a little high for my liking. Lol
