Oh my oh my IM dead tired. My back is killing me, my legs, neck arms are gone. And my hands feel as if they went through a shredder. I wonder how would it feel if i put my hands in a bowl full of alcohol! Well first of all i started late; around 1100am. Had to run to autozone twice during the install due to some missing tools and such. I had some good help. My brother and a friend helped me out. I would say the most time consuming part was bolting all the little things back together. It took us close to 10hours to finish the whole thing. Despite all the troubles it was a project well done. Car sounds awesome. Ill post up some pictures tomorrow when i recuperate.
