well maybe an hour and a half. I just did both front struts, an axle, and a tie rod last week on a gp in an hour and a half with messing around for a while. I could probably do all four struts in an hour if i didn't have anyone bugging me.Quote:

I know he charges less than half of the other powdercoater in town charges.
the biggest thing is shipping across boarder.
If someone in Canada whants stuff done, ok, but from the states, its better to find someone local.
clay bar for first time, now that is a slow process but hopefully its worth it, the clay did pick up some containments but overall I'm very impressed with out little there was for the car being made in October 2006.
powder coating is pretty reasonable really, its the sandblasting that kills you.
i wanted to get my plow re powder coated, 8' HD fisher minute mount, just the blade, they wanted 250. but the guy with the sand blaster wanted like 300, i was like what???? and never found another guy to get more prices from.
thats too big for my brothers unit. - he can do max 5' x 3'Quote:

the plan was to just un pin the plow from the A frame on to a fork lift. the sand blaster killed my dream.
I haz plans to finish the Intercooler & slap some stickerz on the hood. Pics will be posted this evening.
Took the oil pan of Shawty's (Sean) engine that he bought, the guy who put it together was really in love with the idea of RTV. What a moron!!

I changed the rear struts and spark plugs on a members ride today. Now to relax at the swimming pool.
Only took 45 minutes, right? :th_biggrin2:Quote:

LoL gotta love having "help"
The best "help" I often have is when I ask for it, I have no takers.
The fronts are a lot easier to do than the rears it sucks laying in the trunk to loosen and tighten the top mount.
My four year old grand daughter is a hard worker, she wants to help with everything. Her mother (my daughter) is the laziest girl alive.Quote:
