Ok, I adjusted the clutch to where it doesnt chatter very much and when I put it in gear, the wheels turn when I let out the clutch. I took it off the jack stands to put it back in the garage because it is supposed to rain. I get in, fire it up, push in the clutch and put it in gear. I let the clutch all the way out and it doesnt go anywhere. I tried several different gear including reverse and it doesnt move at all. What could be the problem? I am starting to wonder if I will ever get to drive this car.

Ya, what SLITS said. But, in a nut shell: If you loosen the cable and the fork automatically moves towads the front of the car then the pressure plate is pushing on it (most likely too tight). Also, if your arm is hitting the housing now then you need to either shim between the tranny and engine, or much easier, remove the shim from under the pivot ball to move the throwout assembly towards the back. This should give you an extra mm to goof with. Your throwout bearing should not be pressing (with any real force) on your pressure plate fingers at all times. It should be resting on it and you should have about 3/4" of play at the pedal. If your bearing rides your disk it will wear a groove in it and cause more problems later. I have pictures.
