The bumper didn't really need painting but may as well while its off. It was my DD while in High School. So it has some wear and tear on it.
BDJ's racing lid was on the car when I bought it back in 2000. He mostly does ????? neon's now and other import stuff. Dont really know first hand what there charge either.
Well it was my dads B-Day today so no work really got done. But tomorrow after work I will hit the shop and kit the K-member on the ground and start the heads and cam. Any tricks on dropping the trany/motor/k member?

I think am doing the fuel pump with the cutting the hole in back method. Much easier also if you have to go back in there for any reason. I am not sure it can be done that way on the verts.Anyone done this method on a vert? My car is not a vert though so not too worried but am planning a pump install in my 96lt1 so was curious about that.
Oh thanks to Brains for the pdf file. I got manual printed at local staples and it was cheap as pdf is only 83 pages compared to like 180 in non pdf. I just went with black and white, color was way more and not really necessary. Do I need a gm manual or will a hayes do it for taking apart the front bumper and stuff?

Ok was at it again last night from 7:30-11:00 oclock pulling the k member/motor/tranny. First I want to say it was more than I planned. I thought it out in my head and it sounded easy but was not.
For the first timers like myself, there are about 5 sencer behind the intake and 3 15mm bolts that have ground wires bolted to the heads. 1 on the left head and 2 on the right head(driverside). Its easier if you remove the intake and coil packs just so you can see it better. And boy did this lift come in handy. I give you homedoer props for doing it on jackstands. Brake lines were a pain in the ***. Its a must to have a good helper next to you. Would like to thank my good buddy jason, (racinjason). After all of last night. I'm really thinking about getting a forged motor now. B/c I don't want to do that crap again. Anyone have a motor for sale? While heres the pictures from last night.
Next start pulling old Heads and cam.

thats the main reason i shelled out the cash for a forged motor. i was doing the install and thought "man i really dont want to do this again, so i'll just have the motor done while its out" im sure it'll be worth it. im having my front bumper repainted for the same reason, damn daily driving in high school
Nice pics and nice shop! Kyle are these the pics of your new setup? 
Word to ya mother on dropping it out the bottom. Sorry KWIKKAR, I just saw your thread. I could have told you to go ahead and pull the intake first. Having a lift is nice but not really necessary. I've dropped / installed with out a lift several times (just have to have a strong cherry picker). Hell, one of my buddies dropped his out the bottom in his front yard. Used: 2 jacks, a ton of boards and blocks, and a 4-wheeler. 
Yea, that's what I said.
Mount up...... let's see more pics. Check out my engine dolly...
