so the shock were ordered through eric at midwest chassis and he said they'd be 415 but he charged me 730. so i talked to him they charged me for a strange 3" chromoly driveshaft for a 9" so i told him dont reemberse me just keep the money and ship the driveshaft so i bought a driveshaft lol

lol well i actually have 3 post it stickies that i carry around in my wallet. the one is parts ive bought and the cost. another is parts i still need and the last is all the safety stuff i need so the strange DS was on my list and since my bank looks pretty full right now i said sure send it. but now i might be a bit low for machine work. my next thing is takin the new block to be freshened up and have them balance the rotating assembly with new forged pistons and do the splayed main caps. so im gettin there lol

we just had a big snow storm and i plowed for my dad while he was in vegas so he owes me a 10pt cage. and im hopin to start stripping the car possibly this weekend. depends if we decide to try and pass inspection first. ive had a failed sticker since july lol

the shortblock i bought for 1400 had 1000 miles on it and it was already bored .030 it came with an eagle forged crank and eagle 6" forged H beam rods. the pistons it had were hyper blah blah so we are switching them to forged probably je. hell fire rings i know there's better then eagle but i think they eagle pieces will be fine with only a 200 shot
