are you still waiting on the front peices for the strut rods?
here's the story
i served with this guy for 5 years, hooked him up and took care of him for a long time. now we got stationed together at shore duty. so i figured i'd swing by and say hi. he yold me that he has a 65 t-bird he just got, but it needs all kinds of work done to it. i went over redid his complete brake system(damn those were fuc* up rotors) and replaced his fuel pump rag jpint, his filters and tuned it up. then a week later he calls me and says his camero was broke down, can i help. of corse i could. the damn rotor just needed to br replace, cap had a crack too. did that while in the rain on the side of the highway.
so anyway after all that i ask him if he can make me some brackets for the front of my strut rod conversion, sure no prob he says, after all that is all he does is machine work in a highly equipt sub-base repair shop. so here we are like 6-8 months later. "oh i don't have time he says".... what a fucking dickhead! there we are, so i dought it'll happen by that guy anyway. i might just have someone out in town make them for cost. i really wanted to finish that project because i hate my current strut rods.

i know what you mean, i have a buddy that works as a machinist that said he would build me some wedge plates about a year ago, still no plates. maybe i just need to go to school to be a machinist
