    For me? Not hard at all.

    The painter did all the prep work.

    But he used a razor blade, a lot of time and some 3M adhesive remover.

    Its not perfect and not show car quality. He never even fixed the dents.
    But it gets all the Fernandez and Proctor red off.

    Got the rebuilt motor on the stand and started bolting stuff on it.

    Went to a friend's kid's 1st birthday party and realized I was the only "bachelor" there. Damn getting old sucks.

    Went back home afterwards to finish bolting up stuff. Letting the RTV cure some more before filling it up, priming it, and dropping the car on to it (get it? haha). Stretch goal is to get a late evening spin around the block tomorrow then dyno later this week.

    After 2 other ditched versions and much dilly dallying i finally finished my brake ducts for the Dulaney C6 Hub adapters and LS1 12 brakes. They aren't the prettiest as welding Al really is tough at times.
    the amount of work to make something like this from scratch was immense especially considering the odd shape of the adapters and limited space from running 12" rotors. I have much respect for the product and price point for any of the Blaine Fab ducts (which I replaced).
    They'll get tested at Hallett...

    oh and i might have a pair of brand new, never mounted, timken f-body hubs available.

    Fancy hubs, sticky tires, AND bumpsteer kit??? At least paint part of it orange so I can say something nice.

    Now I may have to throw Sean's 3rd gen style rebuildables on the 39.

    Great. Hallet would not be Hallet without Morgan testing out a new brake package. May be a good year to sit this one out. may want to consider giving the Morg a finger point-by.
