The car looks great!

I really like the staggered wheels and bumper change.  I normally dislike anything chrome but it looks really good one your car.

Drove the car to work yesterday. Wasn't late, didn't die!

Unfortunately, on the way home just as things were really starting to smooth out and feeling like parts were jiving, the new TOB went from a slight whirring noise to full-on screechy and crunchy. Trans is coming back out  :dislike:

Trans out last night, and back in tonight with a new TOB. All was quiet on the test drive, hopefully it stays that way so I can get onto the rest of my prep for the 18th.
Rolled the rear fender lips and tweaked the cooling fan adjustment tonight also

The most important question that needs to be asked...

How does it sound catless through a stock ler?
It's Gumby's fault.

Yes, again.... this is what happens when you brag on the internet about reusing untested parts  :crazy:

Picked up a high speed vibration, felt like driveline but the angles and joints are all good. Found a bunch of slop in the tailshaft bushing.
