rear upper ball joints=fuked. i checked everything b4 leaving for nalm but i only put about 600miles on the car since i got it running and it sat for ~3years prior. they looosened up real bad during the drive there, then i broke a clamp for one of the axle boots on the dyno. fucking cheap axles. then one of the bolts for the control arms, that bolts into the subframe, the nut inside the subframe that it bolts into broke. i was gonna weld the control but i ended up getting shimms and got them in there really tight. i gotta replaced the rear subframe now.

I got back to Edmonton at about 10:00pm MDT last night after leaving Springfield at 11:00am CDT ... about 1800 miles in 36 hours.
Edit: Just looked at my odometer readings.
Edmonton to Branson (once I finally got my car out of the shop): 1866 miles
Total Round Trip: 3731 miles
On the way down I did the first 1586 miles in 28 hours. I'm going to make a point to not try to make these kinds of times again, I'm wiped right out.
I'm not sure if reboticon is actually home yet, but I heard from him today and it didn't sound like he wrecked or anything.

Hey guys, finally made it home a few hours ago.
Made a few detours along the way to see the Four Corners Monument, Laughlin, Historic Route 66/Amboy, Civic Musical Road, and stopped for a few days in Los Angeles, before heading home.
Grand total miles this trip: 4686.
Pics of the journey to come soon in another thread.

Sam, great to meet you too!! It was quite an experience to be able to drive my car 2/3 of the way across the country and back to show everyone as well. Hope to see you and your Legend again next year.
