MATS is always a crap shoot for me because I don't have vacation time like I used to. Crying or Very sad

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. Very Happy

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. Laughing

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

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

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. Shocked

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? Laughing

Started ordering electrical supplies. Got the trailer brake controller in the new truck, may try to bring the Daytona home this weekend to start plumbing and wiring. Very Happy

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. Very Happy

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. Rolling Eyes
