I think I need (read: want) to do this but need to check with the boss on the budget (WHAT! Another mod???)

Shipping question? best to ship in multiple, well padded packages? or one big package?

Thanks for the info.

George, the worst part is removing the brake booster. Here is a write up going through all the steps. I'm also west coast and have later hours so I'm a phone call a way in helping you through a tough spot.

Part 2 http://pnwzr1.net/LT5_tear_down2.htm

As far as shipping. People usually use two boxes. I have had some that send it all in one box. UPS guy usually is not very happy.

Put me in line as a very strong probable ... should have a decision very soon. Wish I had the time to pull the parts right now ... we're unseasonably warm in the southeast at the present but it'll probably be freezing after Christmas when I'll finally have time in the schedule to do the work. Oh, well! Garage is nice but isn't always as warm as I would like.

I'll keep you posted on the progress. I'll also want to talk with you about the finish and the color(s) on the lettering. I've seen pics of your work and it is truly outstanding ... also makes deciding which way to go a bit tough. Be thinking about best "look" for a 90 black/black with 95 wheels. Check my site for plenty of pics. If you haven't visited before, I think you'll like some of the eye candy.

George, sounds good, and thanks for the compliment. As far as color selection, on a black car either one of the reds i do looks spectacular. Either the bright red or the darker cherry red. I've also got a nice color called shocker yellow.

All three shown below.

Damn Jeff every time I see that Shocker yellow plenum I have a craving for a monster energy drink. WTF?

You know you want it. Maybe on the brake calipers?

Thats a little to bright for me. BTW it only cost $18 with insurance to send that full set of calipers. So yes $50 for that other set was way off. But total it was still a good price. I should have pulled the trigger higher.

Jeff - The shop said they wanted $400 for the R&R. They said I could leave it there will the parts are being done. How long was the turn around for package 2? And can you post some pics of the stock like silver finish and the silver fleck again? Thanks

Porting will take a little bit longer, speculate around 45-50 days to complete.
