well it was a very productive day to say the least. 
dropped front and rear subframes at the same time. pulled the motor off the front subframe and pulled trans and rear of rear subframe. we also dropped late 03 tanks. we then yanked the lq9 heads off the motor, i will have all new parts installed and reuse. car cannot take up lift space so reinstalled f/r subframes minus motor and trans and should resume next sunday.
got some cool pics can somone host 'em?
