Default Header Install Party?

I am going to install my new (to me) FLP longtubes this weekend at a friends house. He has a quicklift, air, etc and is willing to let me use his garage.

Anybody interested in helping? It would be nice to have some other sets of hands around.

Located in Mission Viejo, Ill provide lunch, beer, etc.

Didn't you sell a set of LG's? When are thinking of installing them?

I have not sold any headers, but I did just buy these from Ryan a few weeks ago. It looks like tomorrow am in Mission Viejo. My friend is willing to let me use his lift (quick lift) and tools. He is older (like 70's) so I am just looking for someone to help out as well.

No problem, but thanks anyway.

Its kind of funny, I have helped people work on their cars for nearly 10 years, no questions asked. When I need a little help, hardly anything...

I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help, as I haven't done any mods on my vette yet. I haven't even changed my oil. I'll check this thread later as I have to go to work tomorrow morning for about an hour, so let me know if you're still doing this install and if you need anything.

Sounded like fun

As long as it didn't take as long as my longtube header install took (over a day..... I thought I could do it without the instructions!)

Glad it went so easy for ya! It looks like you would have had time to change your wheels again too!! It seems like it's been a couple months since the last change.

Over a day? Ouch.

Now you need to make the trek down for the MVCC run, we need another yellow Z to break up the drab black and silver. Did I just say that out loud??

Doing my LGs this Saturday on a QuickLift. I hope it goes as smoothly! Good Job. I'm also doing a tunnel plate but that shouldn't add any time essentially.
