hahah.. I c ould careless where you get it done or if you do it. But the slide hammer is a $100.00 tool and you have to order a cheap one in, or pay even more for a Matco or snap-on one locally.

Eric,

Sounds like you have a busy few weeks ahead of you. I am confident you will be able to to all the tranny works, just realize its going to be a PITA on jacks thats all, but its possible to get done. Several people on this forum have done it, and have provided very good write ups with house hold items you can use to help remove some parts. Good luck with everything and let me knwo if you need anything.

Also guys... next meet?

Steve

It wasn't me.

Speaking of look a likes OZ there is a car up here in Beaverland I saw today that looks almost identical to yours. Didn't apprear to have any power modifications though.

I did drive by the starlight cruise thing last night but I got there pretty late. Well after 9pm. It was empty so I just left.
