Lol ..... I'm starting to get over my build I take one step forward then two or three steps back it sucks that's what happens tho when your putting stuff together that isn't supposed to be. I got home from work yesterday and went to but the transmission to the engine and the shaft on the transmission wouldn't go into the clutch teeth so I pulled it all out and I have about a 16th if not less that won't go in 
I don't think I should grind it down a little. :;head bash:;

New fuel filter, O2 sensor, and wiper blades. Also found out why it sounds like my rear bumper is about to fall off. The new shackles I put on a few weeks ago are hitting the bumper bolts. Looks like I have more work to do.
