Default If it aint one thing, its another!!!

Well I finally finished up on the engine and 700r4 swap that took me a good 3 weeks to work all the bugs out with. (just the big bugs, still got some little ones). Finally thought I was going to be driving it home from my buddys yard Ive been working on it at....engine runs good, tranny was working good, pressures were all correct. Get it, put it in drive, boom...yoke is hitting the tunnel because the driveshaft shop cut my driveshaft too short.

I swear...never ending problems, lol. And now Im going on vacation for a week and wont be able to finish it up.

Sorry guys, just wanted to rant. Ive spent so much time and money on this car :rant:

I know the feeling. You start asking yourself why the hell you ever started on this, then a beer and good night's sleep later, you're back for more.
