hi Cory yes the engine install was made easier with the tilt front but mostly because of access to the area


if you look at the before pictures even with the dead paint you can see some shine trying to poke through on the sides......this was what i was banking on...there was no adhesion problems or bubbles just lots of dead paint....i figure i still have more buffing to do but i am very happy with how it turned out.. i wouldn't even want to guess how many hours of buffing it took..but it is close to 30hrs i bet
