Default Disappointment

Well, Got up early, brewed some coffee, out to the garage. First cup, got the idler arm, drag link and PS contol vallve installed. Stepped back and checked it out, psyched! Into the house to make second cup, back out. Lay out new VB&P tie rod sleeves and freshly painted Moog tie rod ends, start threading, UGHHHH!!! three rights and one lefthand thread. Third cup of coffee, reordering!!!!! Anyone else get this kind of frustrating progress? Vent brothers, it does you good LOL

LOL, Sux don't it!
Had that happen several times, get all lined up, take a step forward and 2 back.
This week:
Tranny parts work out, got to order more
Electrical stuff not available locally, got to order more
Look at electrical parts I got, wire to small for application, order more....

Well, at least I am getting the garage cleaned up so when the stuff gets here I'll be ready

Similar thing happened to me over the Xmas holidays...In a kit I bought from one of the forum vendors was a wrong PN tie rod end..talk about frustrating! But the vendor took care of it the same day and overnighted the correct tie rod end!
