When you know its time to call it a day...

Yesterday I was working on getting Project Heaven prepped again to be moved as we are selling our house and moving. Got the rear axle reinstalled and went to bolt the driveshaft back in and installed a new U-joint, had to order a new U-Joint strap kit cause I couldnt find them... Then as I am tightening the bolts into the yoke for the strap kit I hear a pop and the head of the bolt breaks off in my hand...

Yep, thats when you know it is time to call it a day and tackle it tomorrow...

LOL, so today it is time to drill and either E-Z out the bolt or drill and tap the hole again...
