I would have to guess that i'm in the 6 to 7 hour range at this point. but there was 10 or 12 hours fitting, blasting, repair and grinding. the time consuming part is quenching the welds, and keeping the panel cool. patience is still a virtue men. i'm going to guess there is 5 or 6 hours left in the trunk, grinding, blasting and sanding, but then the quarters go on. immediately. if not sooner. that's another 250 welds. at least i'll be in the groove.

X2 so what challenges did you have to overcome with the AMD pieces and any tricks of the trade you can share?

 

[a68postcar]

as I said in an earlier post, the R/D at AMD have done their jobs well. most, if not all of the issues on their product line are dealt with. I also have to say that, having experience with most of the majors in the industry, the majority of the product I install is that which works for me. and the only time I've ever had an issue was when I worked with different suppliers. and there was nothing that was insurmountable. as far as advice, hmmmm, before you tear into your project, get a tape measure out and record everything. photographic records are very useful. I used to use a notebook. the pics I post here are only 8% to 10 % of the photos I've taken. even if you aren't sure you need the number, write it down anyway. there is no such thing as too much info. and take your time. the time you save will save you money and sanity. back tracking is frustrating and counter productive to say the least.
