Well good luck josh, it's been a while since we have seen you. Hopefully you can make it. I will have just gotten paid which will make me happy. I'm pretty ugh out of money for now.

A grudge standoff huh? My Mustang has a pretty bad vibrations too. I'm sure it's the driveline but I can't drive over 50 mph. Which means the back roads again I guess. Or I could just hit the freeway and floor it.

I know mine's the driveshaft geometry. When I took possession of it, someone had already swapped a 700R4 into it which I promptly blew up. Had a built TH400 laying around so I threw that it, driveshaft was obviously too short. Threw one in from another small block A-body and it was a hair too long due to a BBC trans on a SBC. So I'm rocking the 700R4 driveshaft with a 7" slip yoke, lol. Have a 496 waiting to get wrapped up, not going to spend the money for custom driveshafts twice.

I'm not sure what mine is yet, I haven't done much yet. I've got u joints to fix the squeak, and if that doesn't help the issue, I will rotate it 180 degrees and see if maybe someone messed with it before.

Hey there Tim! It's actually sunny today. I was able to do a small amount of work to the car, got the radio antenna wired up and a new temp sensor in, however it doesn't seem to work still. More problem solving!

So plans have changed a little bit, but I should be able to make the meet. Wife and munchkin are flying out of Seatac at 1400.
My main issue is the size of the parking lot where this Jimmy's place is? Never been there before and I may be towing the Accord back on a U-Haul trailer and that's going to make for one monumental requirement for parking and manuvering space. All depends on whether they head down in the truck tomorrow and then I roll down Friday after work in the Honda. Chevelle is NOT going to make that drive, recent discoveries were not favorable.

There is the Walmart parking lot that is almost attached to it.
You should have room to park. Use the address and have a look
with Google or Mapquest satellite view.

It'll be busy being a weekend night and all but the deeper parts of the lot have more space. That's normally where I park considering I'm not driving the truck :P. But I will soon.

Change in plans yet again. Totally forgot one of our chapter members jgavac is supposed to drop his truck off Saturday afternoon so my buddy and I can chop out his rotted floorpans and weld in new ones. Soooooo I won't be making the meet, I'd feel weird telling him to just drop the truck off and hide the keys considering we've only met once before. Total oversight on my behalf
