I'm not a beer drinker so he'll only be out 2/3 of his beer investment.
We're all pumped and ready to do this.

I see, so you have a more expensive taste. He will have to get you some Patron or Blue Label.
Just make sure to drink AFTER the installation.

I learned at an early age that drinking and wrenching only causes WAY more wrenching later on. The celebration will commence after the install and road test. Cole is going to be one happy camper when he gets his car back. I know I was when we finished mine.

SSgt,
Progress!!! Your car was given a quick bath this morning and 15 minutes later this is where we were at (hood is off)
One hour later this is where we were at (nose is off)
At the 3 hr mark we have the crank pinned.
Everything that we can do without hardware has been done...all within the first 3 hrs! Now we wait for Santa Claus in the FEDEX truck on Monday.

I have the GM ceramics on mine. Minimal dust and for street use they stop just fine. Gene Culley has good prices on these and is a forum vendor.
