    Fucking A!

    :cuss: I need to vent. This 2 door project is really turning into a fucking project. First, 1 of the tires I got off ebay was bad...big ass buldge in the rear sidewall. Ok, so I get another one. Then the guy doin the work fucked up and didnt put the one wheel upside down to mount the tire, fucked up the bead. They are eating the cost on that one, OK. Then they get it back on the lift to put the exhaust on ANOTHER fucking tire with a buldge in the sidewall! I'm NEVER buying tires off that seller again! So I'm getting yet ANOTHER tire.

    Now, he's getting ready to put the exhaust on, I told him I wanted side exits, no problem he can do it. Gotta cut some of the h-pipe off to fit everything, but no problem. Well his dad steps in and says that isn't gonna work...the pipes are gonna drag. SO they go and get tailpipes, didn't say anything to ME about it... :chainsaw: Now I'm gonna have some fucking stock dual exhaust setup. :guns:

    Oh and it took 2 DAYS to do the fucking front of the motor (timing set, water pump, that stuff). While he was cleanin out the holes for that the tap broke off in one of the holes, couldn't get it out....now that's rigged so it won't leak!

    This project is gonna fucking cost me bigtime. :cuss:

    I shoulda just fixed the brakeline on the Vic and left the 2 door sit longer!

      Well are they going to redo your exhaust? I would tell them to do it my way or they arn't getting paid. That sux about the tires, were those for the Cragars?

            Well they didn't do the exhaust yet. It's gonna just be a pain takin it somewhere else to get the exhaust done, so fuck it.

                4 hour round trip plus work time shoots the day...

                About the wheel bein upside down to mount the tire, some wheels you have to do that. It's cause of the depth or somethin, my rear Cragars are reverse offset.

                  After sharing a roof with a mechanic all my life, I know a thing or two about everything on this car. What does this do to me? You would think that it was a good thing, cuz now I can work on it myself and save money, right?
                  NO, it means that I can't trust anyone else to do anything to any of my cars that I will ever own. I know what needs to be done and I want it done right, and now i can't trust an exhaust shop to put a pipe on the way I want, or anybody to mess with the engine. Every time I go get something done its never the way it should be. To someone who didn't know what they were getting, yeah it would be fine, but not for guys like us. Maybe I'm just too picky.
