I'm in!
I can do the fuel line at least. 
Is this going to be at your house or mine (either works for me)?
Also, on a related note. I think we should take the engine/tranny down to the car wash one night this week.

Aaron + Grimstead + dirty tranny = happyness?

Aaron you still doing this RIGHT?????
Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 16 2007, 08:11 PM
yup. i kinda need a head count.
not a whole lot to do tomorrow. cant take the valves outta the heads till monday when brandon's shop is back open, and he can get my head tool.
so welding in the floor piece
taking the heads off the motor, cleanup, look for any signs that they need to be machined (guides/seats/cracks)
running a center tunnel fuel line...
pulling short geared tranny apart to replace shift console that broke (yanking it off my backup tranny), and trouble shooting the giant speedo drive leak.
might start on the 911 ebrake stuff.... but i need a way to put my hubs in. anyone got an all thread setup to pull the bearings in (the fags are in the freezer already)?
