Differential went back in today.
Hung the new Van Steel offset TA
Bolted on VB&P camber rods
Stripped a bolt even though I chased the threads on the bolt & hole and had not yet approached the torque limit.
Said the hell with it, smoked a cigar & drank some Wild Turkey.

Its Friday, drove the 75 to work today, saw a chrome bumper vette up ahead of me, and did the corvette wave to a mulsanne blue 69 427 as I caught up to him before my turnoff.
