Tonights update has some bad news in it, I went to install the stub shaft, and it won't compress enough to fit. The idiots made it exactly the length I asked for, but I told them that it would need to compress to fit into the ujoint pockets. I checked the other two and they are exactly the same way, no hope of getting them into the truck either. So I'm off to Tulsa in the morning to be at the driveline shop when they open at 8am to get them fixed.
I did manage to get the fuel lines fully hooked up and the air bled out of them. I also got the down pipe installed and figured out that I wouldn't have to modify it, so the full exhaust system is together, just not clamped until I get the flex line for the wastegate and can get it welded into the downpipe. I also shortened the last pipe for the cold side, just need to weld it together tomorrow and weld a bead around the other pipe to get that side finished. Here are some pictures of the cold side:

I pulled my year old battery tonight so that I can take it to wally world and get it exchanged so that i can crank the engine over. I also started filling up the transmission with oil and got the yoke bolted in.
T-9 days and counting.....
