Anyway drove the car 40 mins to Denver and back with no issues with overheating or electrical except the suspension needs to be examined further. Basically as mentioned earlier the tie rods need to be dealt with so I can dial in proper alignment specs. Noticing bump stear.

More.to come....

In no way was I suggesting "simple" also means "easy" - sometimes it's far from easy to find and fix.

I found the upper half of my rear main seal installed backwards and, to continue the theme, the side pipe muffler inserts were installed in opposite directions (one with the louvers facing forward, the other facing back). The emergency flasher wiring was cut off under the dash and the brake lights were wired so they'd only work when the ignition was on. The gas tank was installed without a vent to the filler tube and was not only slow to fill but a b**ch to do so without spilling gasoline all over the bodywork. Oh, I almost forgot - the rollover check valve on the tank was installed backwards.

Okay now I feel better, lol.

You know the thing that really sticks in my craw is that I could have done most if not all of this myself. Having a commercial general contracting business and three little kiddos and of course my wonderful wife, time is short so I entrusted these guys to speed things up.

What I got was a helacious bill wich I disputed and a good 5 weeks of lost drive time.

Live and learn I suppose.
