No need for Ativan when you have the cleansing power of sanding drums, 1000 grit sandpaper, aluminum polish, and industrial strength cleaners

I was going to do this anyways...******...

Stop it you. Don't reinforce my neurotic behavior. I'm already contemplating rewiring my injectors due to messing up the length originally!

Goal is to have a running car by Sunday.

At least they are pretty obviously not the same blue. How bad would it be if they were just barely different, like we didn't notice it but it just made you tick.

See?! I can be sensible. Curly was the one who brought up the shock tower braces not being the same blue...not me! Y'all play a game version of the movie Saw with my build thread...maliciously reinforcing my behavior for your own sick enjoyment.

Nah, I'm only this way about things I own. I don't push my approach to things on others. I'm no vegan.

What I would give for the Jeffbucc overhaul on my car. Everything on it is "well it works, time to do something else".

I just bought that same exact tap and die set for my project. Funny enough, i was using the 14X1.5 as well, but the die, not the tap.

Glad it worked out.

I offered to help Ed with his in July when I get some free time, if I'm not asleep in the dirt after pulling an all nighter on his maybe we can work out some glaring issues on yours. Nothing a 2300 psi pressure washer and a steam cleaner can't solve.
