thanks to everyone who helped today, you all did more work then i did. I'll be honest, the brake lines and welded cross member took some of my steam. but now i know exactly what i am up against. I am gathering parts today... actually within the hour.
tomarrow @ 0930 alex will have the shop open (just got off the phone with him)
phase one: 0930-1200
1: modify cross member (scott and i have an idea)
2: front axle mounted, stearing box brace in, and stearing hooked up (straight forward, just time consuming)
phase two: 1300-1400
1: get t-case in and mounted
2: rear axle (should be cake now, everything is good to go)
3. drive shafts (no biggy)
phase three: 1400-???
1: brake lines routed an replaced (cheeks I'll need your help with this)
2: replace/refill fluids
3. other stupid stuff
I know today was on the verge of a clusterf---- but i didn't really know what to expect. But now I have a plan and we can get it drivable tomarrow. this way there is no "what should we do next" i dropped the ball on that, sorry.
so who is comming tomarrow; and what time?
