Project frustrations!!! /rant on

This is getting rediculous.

1st one: I bought a complete set of stainless brakelines and hoses from Inline Tube. I don't have any factory bent line on either of the two C10's I have right now. So, I had to guess where it all went, and let me tell you, IT's NOT INUITIVE! So, I am down to the final piece, want to guess what happened?
They put the wrong fitting on. So, I RMA'd it and I need to wait for it to get back. Took about 5 calls to get them to do it, as they kept trying to blame other components I bought from them!

2nd one: The cab that I bought that's supposed to be turn key ready for paint, needs more body work. I can put my fingers through gaps in the cab corners, they didn't use actual panels and used flat sheet metal, so I have to weld in new panels or cobble together body, seat and seat belt mounts, which is something I don't play with. (this is the body guy's fault, not the guy I got it from).

3rd: The Ford 9" I wanted to use for this, built supposedly for a C10 is too wide. So I have that on the table and I am cutting off the bearing cups to narrow it down. Which also means I have to have the shafts narrowed a wee bit more. Can you say I am tubbing the heck out of this thing?

4th: Seems like every vendor I use takes 3x longer than they say they will to ship items and I am stupid and trusting of that.

Anyhow, /rant off.
