brown came today...
My UPS guy has good sense of humor... He jumps out of the truck with my box, hands it to me and says "parts is parts" 
Jumps back into his truck and vanishes in a cloud of diesel smoke 
He did leave behind a set of Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers, a Hughes turbo 400 trans split yoke for my ROD 6 speed that should be here Monday
and a new Grant steering wheel to replace the vintage wooden one I broke last Saturday when I romped on the 502 Ram Jet with a little authority for the first time...
Warm day, Warm tires, second gear, 800 rpm clutch engaged, rolling along, and floor it !! The tires HOOKED up long enough that I was slammed in the seat hard enough to break the steering wheel (cause I was still hanging on)
Then the 295's went up in an amazing display of smoke and I had to lift quickly as The RPMs were building FAST.
torque rules... :o

My UPS guy is awesome. After ordering so many parts and having to leave them at the back door and stuff we came to an agreement about leaving them in the garage. So I gave him my garage code and he leaves them in the garage. For awhile there it was like christmas every other day!
