Stayed at the Quality Inn in Easton PA last time. It was a really nice place and only $50 a night. Couldn't beat it.

Quality Inn Easton

well no pics tonight but i got a lil done

cut the floor back to the rear hump so the drive shaft will clear

mocked up the drive shaft with out the carrier spacer

old measuremeants werw as follows:
front drive shaft angle (from tailshaft to carrier) was -4* and is now -3*
raer drive shaft angle was -1* and is now + 18*

rear shaft is pretty steep but i dont think it will bind if so ill just get a new driveshaft or a longer slip

i also got the small section of floor i cut to day tacked back in

tomorrow ill start by cleaning the shop some then work more on the floor and maybe make room for the turbo

Comparing your standards to anything would be an admission that you have any standards at all...
