The add on is only eyelids for the headlights, need to wait for warmth so the glue bond is strong, cold mounting would only cause it to lose grip. considering its 3m double sided tape, lol. i just wanna see what you guys think of them before i actually put them on. I painted them myself and still need to buff them out. And im sure some of you who werent at the steakhouse when i drove my 8, would like to see the turbo.

Looks like I better get there early so I have a garage space
Steve I'll pack up all my air tools to bring down with me, and a random assortment of other tools as well. I know I need to bring sockets because even though you have like 100 of them, 89 of them are 13/16"

Wow. . . 11 people.
Alright, just to let everyone know again. Dress Warm, I'm going to turn the heaters on for Sunday, but it'll still be cold back there.
Also, the shop is DIRTY. Like the area I "lease" was built over an old sand pit for thermal stress relieving of large steel parts, so there is sand dust all on the floor.
Parking out front shouldn't be a problem for 11 cars. Make sure to lock your cars (even though the Bronco has no door locks and I've never had a problem, its still a good idea being downtown Canton and all.
Those bringing tools, keep an inventory of what you brought so they don't get mixed with mine or what I grab from the shop.

After reading the license plate law i really feel like my front window Velcro'd plate meets requirements. It is in the front of the car (does not specify outside) It is in plain view unobstructed and it is securely fastened with some sticky Velcro stuff. I feel like there is more potential to get in trouble from defacing a plate by bending it or cutting it.

Primary Objectives are:
Remove Engine and Trans from Donor...
Set trans on skid + inspect + clean-up.
Remove remaining engine peripherals: Place on skid as block... clean up.
John, if you're coming: remove Radio.
Other objectives can be:
Remove Rear Dif. and axles.
Remove Front Brake Rotors (we'll need a torch for this)
Remove Steering Rack.
And any misc. interior stuff. I'm not too worried about that cause its pretty easy to do with one person.

John, its not the same shop.
On that topic, this is also my place of employment, and while I lease the space in the back, I ask that every be as respectful as they can.
Please keep in mind the goals of this meeting.
Originally, Brian was going to come down and walk me through this process so I could learn, so I figure why not let everyone learn. Its up to you all if you choose to help, watch, or whatever. But keep in mind I do have some things I need to get done on sunday and having 12 people work on 1 car doesn't work that well. Plus the car is up on stands at this point, so we all must also be careful and mindful of where everyone else and that were being safe.
Okay, enough being a dad.
Nick, I sold the upgraded starter off the donor, but you can find them on eBay sometimes. That's where I found mine for 75 bucks.
