It won't be that bad of a project if it doesn' t rain, plus I'm not really in a rush to finish it. BluByWho, it's an AEM short ram.

It's ok, I'm buying coil-overs with the money I was going to spend on labor.

Your BOV is on backwards. But other than that, good luck.

I'm not trying to be a smartass or judgemental but, I have a few observations. You live in an apartment, you're rebuilding your engine in it's parking lot because you have no work space and want to save money on labor, but have a new $75,000 Z06 on order according to your signature.

I'm thinking unless your job moves you around a lot get house with a garage or even if your job moves you around rent shop space by the month until the engine is closed back up. I'm not hating, just not understanding.

That is going to suck outside. Too much crap blowing around and weather for me to do that kind of work.

Good luck. You are more brave then I am. I hope it works out well.

Bingo. I'm moving to Tampa in June

Like I said before "When it comes to money, I'm like a white guy with dread locks; I make a lot of bad decisions".

Still, you can rent a storage unit to work out of. Anything with a roof and walls would be better than out in the elements.
