Ok not sure why working on the car in the house makes him a dedicated SR, because I don't know of too many people that work on there own cars that haven't worked on one in the house or appartment at one time or another. Well I guess that makes us all dedicated street racers is all!

I'd say this makes him dedicated. Definition is devoted to a cause or ideal or purpose. Purpose= SR

Yeah you are correct it has been a while since I had to work in my house, but not so long that I forgot. Keep going fellas better get a few more guys together when you get ready to take it outside if it fits like you said I think the K-member is going to have to come off.

Taking it out sideways, might just make it heavier and harder to take out. Taking off the K-member is the best bet. Just my .02

Lol, I also agree with pulling it off the k-member. It'll be hell getting it out of the door attached, and on top of that chance dropping it and breaking something worked so hard on. Inspector12 still assembles engines in his living room.... J/K
