Ugh, finally.
August 16, 2012 05:54PM
I cannot believe all the scheduling problems and delays past drop dead dates.
Seems those that are working are fawkking buried and those without work are well wiithout work.
Anyway finally picked (or should I say they were finally done--weeks late) up this load of about 200 parts





Got Ryan Sealey's stuff shipped, need to send him a final bill!


Got the strut tops that were damaged fixed:


Should be ready to pick up the ears for all the Subies and have them ready pretty quick since all the tops are done on those and all the Ford group A type tops are finished too;
(piccies coming in a few minutes after some food is gotten into the girls)

Mark Hille in CT should have his suspension and crossmember and diff kit and alternator mount into UPS today (piccies coming)

Chris Arboleta in LA should have the rears into UPS finally with the arrival of all those 52 lower spring seats. Already has the fronts for his Suzuki GTI;

Mark Hille in Corn-yeti-cult, couple of days late on that other boring stuff, but this is ready:


Dust off the Paypal, time for a big pile of electrons.

Suspension packed, and alternator mount, diff kit, too.
heading down to UPS now.

Oh Mark, don't have an email address for you....

What's ETA on Scott's stuff and my insert making it's way back?
I know Scott borrowed some DMS 50mm stuff to run Ojibwe on. Hope he doesn't get addicted. smiling smiley

The intention is the weld HERE the little hairline crack cause I have the soft jaws in the chuck to be able to chuck it up and kiss down any naughty weld .
Scotts stuff will be coming as soon as some tubes arrive with shiny finish on them---they went up a while back to the plater.

I've bought 2 tubes of that Heat Fence, it's spensive stuff but I cannot find either tube... Getting stupid buying expensive goo for one time use.

You said "go break them in" and break them in I did! Thanks John, it's been a rough couple of years running on crappy stock stuff. And what was going to be 45 minutes and a 1/3 tank of fuel at CORE to test them out, turned into well over 3 hours of giggling fun and .75 gallons left.

I dropped another check off in the mail during lunch today and I'm just waiting for the final bill for the rest.

Thanks again
