8-3/4 with no gear oil :(

Well... I sent the chunk off to Cass, and he rebuilt it last Friday. Fortunately I noticed on the invoice that there had been a screw-up and someone put 3.55 gears in it when it came in with, and was supposed to leave with, 3.91 :eek: It was pulled off the loading dock before UPS came, luckily. I am glad I didn't receive it, bolt it in, go for a drive and THEN find out it had the wrong gears...

But it didn't get redone and shipped until this afternoon. Now the projected delivery date is next Tuesday! I swear if I wasn't having bad luck with this project, I wouldn't have any luck at all :BangHead:
Although (as noted in another thread), I installed Caltrac copies while the chunk was out, and discovered that Moser had made defective welds with absolutely no penetration on both perches. One just fell off when the U-bolts were removed. So I guess that's the silver lining :rolleyes:

Tomorrow I'm picking up my freshly painted (body color) AAR Fiberglass hood with six-pak scoop. I saw it before paint and it was pretty straight with no major dings or scratches anywhere. So at least I have something else I can tinker with while waiting again for the rear. The weather sucks lately anyway.
