Header or suspension install party?

When I first got my car I had a bunch of offers to help with my mods. Now I am ready. I am planning on either installing the headers or the suspension in my signature.

The date is next Sunday, JUNE 3, 2007.

We will have plenty of burgers, hotdogs, water, sodas and of course BEER. I have an 8 year old daughter and a pool, so if you have little ones and spouses they are welcome too. My wife and daughter will be here that day too.

Sounds great, I am gonna get started early, so whenever you guys want to show up. Like I said, you can bring the kids and wife too, or they can come later or ???? I will get enough food and drink for the headcount I have and then some in case others show up. Let me know if anyone has a special request for food or drinks.

By the way, you can mapquest me at 1418 Bent Oaks Blvd, Deland, FL 32724.

Thanks
John

Wife and kids won't be there with me. And I get up at 7:00 am normally, so say 8:30? Is that a good time?

Sounds good to me. I have to move the TR7 to the other side of the garage first thing(and the brakes are locked up). I will try to move it before then, but not sure if it will happen.

So what do you want to do, suspension or headers? Or both? You think we will have time to do both? So far you are the first to reply. I am hoping for a few more by then.

Thanks again

don't forget to have saw of some sort ready to cut off the casting tab(s) on the side of the block.

makes it much easier

I have a sawzall, not sure of blades though. If you could bring the dremel and a blade that would probably be fine. Are you familiar with this tab? I didnt install my last set, I used Vinci.

Thanks guys

I looked it up on line. Looks like a minor 1/8" trim. I will print some directions and pics. Looks like we have to jack it way up, so get some blocks and stands ready.

Had some know it all tell me last week you can not do it without a lift. He also did not believe that I did all the work I did by myself in my garage with only help to reinstall the trans after doing the clutch....

Yeah, I looked it up too. We have been crazy today. I meant to hit the Chevy dealer to get some differant gaskets. I hope some came with the headers. Otherwise it might be a suspension day.

See you guys tomorrow.

Thanks Mike and Jason for coming by. We really got a lot done in a pretty short time. I ordered the poly motor mounts , so they should be here soon. I think I can pick up the strut top nut anywhere, maybe Robert has one laying around. Still no schedule for this week. I will let you guys know.
