Cool. Hope you both get along during the process, unlike my wife and I hanging wallpaper together. LOL

I can only imagine... My wife and I stained the deck together once 10 years ago, before we were married. Almost didn't get married...

She stains by herself now.

Is wallpaper coming back?

 

[iamdub]

My other half and I. We were both GM techs for a bunch of years, and he had most of his ASE certifications at one time.

So we can expect lots of pictures?

Is wallpaper coming back?

No, and neither is my ex. That was the early '90s. To quote Don McLean, "a long, long time ago..."

The build starts this weekend!!! I'm expecting 1 week till we complete it. This Saturday we will be taking the top end apart, and R&R various items under the hoe. Also gonna remove the bumper and get the TruCool installed. During next week, the heads will be resurfaced by our friend, and we will also install the new springs and guides and trunnions. The following Saturday will be putting it back together and having lots of fun afterwards.

For those that forgot what I'm doing:

Cam and goodies for the heads
ARH headers
Huge Radiator and Trans Cooler
Trans service
All 3 mounts.

That's the short version, haha
