Sad day for me.

Well, i have to rant on for a bit, it has been a very frustrating weekend for me so far.I am getting married this weekend and all i wanted for the wedding was to drive my truck. well it has not moved in close to 6 years. I do lot5s of restorations for ppl, so i never have tome to work on my own stuff. 4 weeks a go i go and get my truck from the farm. my list of things to get it ready included, rewire, install new fuel tank, shorten driveshaft, redo brake system, install overdrive, make motor and tranny mounts, build new engine, install electric fuel pump, and much more, a very daunting task.
As you can tell 4 weeks = short deadline especially when you have a 9-5 job. I got everything done except getting the engine built. friday nite i go to put it together and nothing but problems.pushrods too long, they are interfering with the heads, roller rockers hit head studs, oil pan and timing cover do not mesh togeher. nothing but problems...... Now she is gonna sit till after the wedding A friend did offer to take the engine out of his 78' Corvette and lend it too me for he week, that is a true friend, but time is too short now. anyways thanx for the time, had to let it out. later
P.S I am having troubles putting pics up. comp hates me right now, go figure.

Did you try to resize the pic. Sorry to hear your truck isn't ready for your special day. A big congradulations on tieing the knot.

don't let your frustration ruin your other plans. Enjoy your wedding, enjoy a honetmoon. Think about your truck later, it will still e there.

That was alot to bring on yourself in the last weeks before you wedding.A great way to spend your final single days,though.I hope it didn`t cause resentment by your fiance with all else that needs to be done in preparation for a lifetime event.They sure like to play that one up.Congradulations,and remember...when the honeymoons over you`ll have your friend to tinker with.

Congrats on the marriage. You'll get the truck done. If your bride let you work on it in the four weeks before the wedding, she's a keeper.....actually, looks like you will get to keep both of them. One of them you get to license....the other one has a license for you.

Thanks everyone, and she is definelty a keeper, she understands my obsession, even though it still gets in the way sometimes, heck she even knows what a pushrod is now. lol. a fellow member is gonna post some pics for me so i appreciate that. well gotta go pick up the new couch now. havve a good day. mine is finally better.

Congrats on your marriage. I had the same problem when we got married last September. You just have to take the good with the bad at times and work through it. We were able to use her uncle's '56 Chevy to drive away it so it still worked out.
