only tips I have. Lay out a couple blankets. Grab a chair...or shop dollie. something that rolls and can drop low enough. Grab a beer and don't rush. It's pretty strait forward.



edit- as for free time. If I'm not in the middle of the hammy/mines drive I'll be in santa cruz sanding and cursing.

Nice - thanks! I figured, but there's always good in learning from others.

No worries, good luck with the sanding! I was going to try to make the drive, but I still need to put in my brake pads and don't want to delay the bumper stuff.

Thanks for the tips! Beer is a must. I have a few Polish creepers (ie pieces of cardboard) so it will be fine.

Are you getting a lighter beam? If so, can I get your regular one?
