    Hi guys. The paint on the mav was done a couple of months back. The next step in the resto is for the removal of everything on the undercarriage of the car...everything..suspesion. lines, etc. It's then going on the rotisserie and getting everything coated.

    I can only do this during the week, as the resto shop is only open mon-fri.

    He's going to loan me his lift at the shop, so it should be easy. Thing is, once started, we have to finish up within a day or so...(probably won't even take that long)...so we don't hang up his lift. When it's done, we'll probably be involved in putting it on the rotisserie.

    any volunteers who are handy with a wrench and have a free time during the week for a couple of days??

    thanks all!!!

    btw, shop is off the 71 freeway (past pomona)

    Lets see, 4 nuts and a brake line and the rearend will come out, pull the shocks, springs, sway bar, brake lines, and 8 nuts and the front suspension comes out, thats a mornings work on a California car when you have a hoist. I wish I had a hoist..

    thanks...I've ripped apart a fox mustang a billion times, but never a mav.

    guess if it's that easy, I've got nothing to sweat.

    With access to a lift and and air tools(?)... that should be a 3 hour or less job. If I were closer I'd be all over it.
