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.

You're not the first we've seen with a turbo... maybe the first that still has one running

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.

I know a Cleveland city cop who would disagree with you (my plate was in my front window when I got pulled over). And the law does say "on the front" which implies outside. I'm not fighting mine, but if anyone's got the inside scoop on whether in the front window worked, I'd love to hear it.

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.
Jesus, y'all are hardcore. I thought I was badass for unscrewing the underbody screws to attach my front plate. With a SOCKET WRENCH! (I know, watch out for me!)

Luckily we only have to be under there for like 5 minutes. It is the 270 arm bend that has to be done to detach the HVAC that you can help with.

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.
