    Man-O-Man, what a mess! In case any of you get enthieusastic and messing with a QC don't get over ambitious and try to pull the tubes out. What possessed my to change my mind about how to go about doing this rear and trying to pull the axle tubes, weld the stubs and machine them true and drive them back in is one of the dumbest thing i have done in a while. I usually recognize the symtoms of when i am about to 'pet the dog' and let cooler heads prevail. I sure enough blew it this time. I should have just looked things over last night and at least tack welded it - but no... just gotta get anal and do some perfect work on an axle tube.
    We need to start a thread about monumental dumbassed things we have done in the pursuit of perfection. We call it 'pet the dog' sometimes he'll just reach up and bite you.
