Due to family and working a lot I haven't been on here in a while. Im glad to see the Laffy post going strong. Ill definitely try to make it to any meets in the area, so anybody who knows of them post them. Cheers gentleman!
Where/who does a great proper wash, paint correction and detail around the Lafayette? Need to get the 1LE shined up here soon, so i might as well go all in.
I want to replace the bushings on my front control arms while the K member is out. I priced some moog bushings and plankton have a shop press them in. Im not very familiar with suspension. Is there anything I should know about the bushings or the arms? I have the items in planning to buy below.
Sorry Corey, it was painted by Terry at Manhattan Collision Center, great guys. He even told me I could use his trailer to tow it back to Walker.
No problem. I assume you would recommend them? How were they on price? My clear is peeling more and more everyday so I'm looking to get it fixed by the end of the summer.
I'd say the Moog bushings should be just fine. I have their tie rod ends on my car and they are solid.
I don't feel the labor rate was bad, it was $50 an hour they had 40 hrs into the car. I bought very expensive materials. To save money i'd advise you to possibly disassemble and assemble the fenders and bumpers yourself. Their a top notch shop though!
Man these guys at FMS killin me, now they are talking about July 27 is the first opening to bring the car back! That's 2 months away that's the whole summer man.
What problems might I run into trying to have another shop finish the job? I mean FMS took the car apart and I got a slew of parts over there and I have to transport all this ****.
Someone also recommended a shop in Covington Speed N Style to finish the install and to have Mike Lavigne tune the car. Let me know if anyone has any insight on that.

Dude, take it to Geoff at EPS. He's tuned ALL my cars, including the wifes Escalade. That thing will actually do an all-wheel-peel now... On DRY pavement.
His customer service, communication, and attention to detail are second to none.

I was thinking the same thing. Ive heard nothing but good things about that place and his services.

I bet you guys could, and I really appreciate that suggestion. I actually have a guy I work with that told me he owned several of these cars and pulled and installed motors and trannys countless times. He even said he fixed problems that left from Futrals shop on very high dollar builds. Ima give Geoff a call and see how he's looking this month so he can schedule me in.
I picked up the engine and my parts. My guy who's installing everything is being held up bc Futrals didn't give me some things a lot of things to be more exact.Im going to see Monday what they are going to say about the following missing and broken items, but if you guys have any of these to sell let me know just in case.
Items not found after leaving Futrals:
Flywheel bolts
Speed sensor for Trans
Coil packs and brackets
Transmission lines
Power steering pump and bracket **may be in engine bay**
Transmission dipstick and tube
Trans inspection cover
