I finally got a chance to check on it today, no surprise, still not finished. They do however have it rebuilt, bolted to the transfer case and sitting on a transmission jack ready to install. They told me I should be able to pick it up Friday. They also said the owner was out sick today so that may change things a bit too. Call me crazy for taking it to these guys, it has almost been a month again! It took me a little over 3 months to do the entire conversion, they have taken 2 months to build the exhaust and transmission! Oh well, I am not sure if I would do it any different again, these guys are really good and honest and I feel like if there are any problems they will stand behind it, the quick shop wanted nothing to do with it. I am having dreams about driving it, it runs great in my dreams, hope I am not dissapointed in real life! Hope to post good news Friday!
