You're getting faster every time. At this rate by the time you are my age you'll have it down to minutes.

I can do without my grits for a day or three. do you have a heated garage, or are we talking about working in the snow? Southern boys freeze awful easy.

If you are truely serious, when are you looking at doing this? Have you gathered the parts yet?

I am serious just because of the time it takes with one person and how much in that one weekend I could learn. I have some of the parts so far, but am waiting on some money in the next few weeks to finish getting the DP and gauges. My time frame is fairly open. Probably after Christmas just because everything is so crazy right now and am waiting on the money. What you think? Round-trip ticket from Birmingham to Medford is just $302

I just heard it is 2.09 at my local station. I may have to fill my 95 gal transfer tank up.

I wish you luck on the installs. It would be worth the money to have Brandon help you with all this. Way cheaper then having a shop do it. Plus it will be done right.

Good offer Brandon.
