Re: Project Ol' Blue

Well my tranny decided to take a dump Friday morning. Thank God I had a spare! Me and my brother (dragonwrecker) worked till 1:30 in the morning swapping it out. He had a fairly new torque converter lying in the shop so we put that in also. Then while we had her on the rack we decided to finish the drop on the front end. 'Ol Blue is sittin right now even though I still need to get a lower sway bar for her. But...on the way home from Super Summit 2013 at Summit Racing yesterday, the rear end was hitting the cross member I added in. So now we will be removing the bed again, notching the member and replacing destroyed brake lines today. It never ends does it? LOL heres a few pics.
