The thought did cross my mind. I talked to the guy I bought my suspention from today. Good news they are going to ship my lower control arms tomorrow. So this weekend I can get spindles off the blue car and get this thing rolling.

I didn't any parts this week, crap. I will call Monday and start giving attitude. I did get much done on the car either as I smashed my hand between a 7000# mold an a 5/8 bolt a work, got stitches in both sides of my hand and though my middle finger was broke. Fuel pump on the daily driver died too, so this has been a crappy weekend then add the rain and power outage I just want to go back to work.

Yikes, that sucks. Hopefully you are still able to use it. Having a broken middle finger is horrible. You bump it on everything.

Bummer on the finger 77nomad! I bet it hurts, and gets in the way a lot too! Hope you're feeling better soon!

From the sounds of it, it may not fit though... I'm just hoping for the best.

Thanks guys. I worked last night and seemed to be close to normal. ATM how thick is the carb hat? I was considerind one of those to get around hood clearance issues. After doing the 1/2" body drop I'm pretty sure a cowl hood is the only way to go. I would love to keep my factory hood scoop though. It's one of the reasons I bought the thing in the first place.
