I have to cut and manage the alt bracket, and if I do not want to cut into the frame rail and strut tower I am looking at using a Altima electric PS pump. I have a list of little **** to take care of next garage day.

Esspecially this little gem. Zfever in there infinite wisedom rewired the sh*t to short, by aqbout 8 inches. So now I have to cut and splice all the lines......

Not Cool....

A masterpiece takes time and patience. Do it right the first time and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

The tree has already been planted. The fruit takes its own time.

The pain is to hinder your determination. It has no other purpose.

She does that by asking me, "how's it going?" Every 35-40 minutes expecting a different answer.

After 8+ hours of that I had to grit my teeth and ask her to stop before I yelled at her.

Nah, fukc that ****. He's right, it's annoying af when someone keeps asking you how it's going, especially during slow progress. If she wants to know, she can help. There's always room for 3rd and 4th hands whether they're holding tools, keeping places, or simply wiping yer brow. Nothing worse than someone asking you how things are going when you're frustrated. Even a dog can be annoying and they're the most pure souls that exist. No one's fault, you just want **** to work.

I ask her if she wants to help all the time and ahe thanks me and then says she has no clue whats going on, which is totally fine.

But she asks how things are going as her way of letting me know she ia bored, even when I give her a weeks notice to not expect anything off me that weekend.

Lol

Cool work with the solid suspension bushings. I hear the Z track guys love those. It will also help keep the power on the ground, keeping the suspension from flexing every which direction but the wrong way when you get on the gas!

The last car I built had solid subframe bushing, half pillow ball and half poly in the rear and all poly arm bushings in the front. It was super tightvand made the car extremely controllable when powering over in the corners, no hope no jerk. It would break free and just glid out. That was on turbo with less torque. This is gonna be interesting.
