Anyone free this Sunday afternoon to lend a helping hand? Zeke?

I picked up my jet-coated heat shields yesterday afternoon (pics to follow soon, they're puuurty, chrome look, but good to 1100 degrees... if anyone wants theirs done, too, let me know). So, I need to pull my stock header off for the last time, install the Megan header (with heat shield mounting points added... if anyone wants similar welding work done, let me know), and put my catalytic converter back on (at least temporarily).

I went down this road with Zeke a few weeks ago, so all of the bolts are broken loose and the swap should be pretty quick. I just need a spare pair of hands that can help guide the header onto the mounting bolts while I'm under the car.

Edited for new time.

 

Dan,

I might be available depending when Jeff might be stopping by. I am familar with this install as well. Send me a PM with address and time.

Ack, I forgot about Jeff's visit... my weekend is already filled with honey-do's If you have the space and time, maybe I could drive to your place, return your stock header, you can help me swap mine out, and I can hang around for Jeff's install until it's time for me to do the honey-do's. The only downside to that is we would have to wait for my header to cool.

Saturday afternoon/evening we're having a few friends over for dinner, I'll ask right now what time to expect them. Sunday morning it's "Breakfast with the Penguins" at the Balto zoo, but I believe the afternoon is still free.

I need to get all of this stuff done (including swapping out my smog pump) so I can get my emissions checked... I'm already running on expired tags

 

I have been informed that my Saturday is all booked up... Sunday afternoon is now the preferred time period. The ankle biter has a 10am playdate, and I imagine that will run no more than an hour or two, assuming she doesn't have one of her increasingly frequent meltdowns.

 

Headers are easy done solo as long as the car is way up on jack stands.

 

Sunday work as well. We could do the work at my house if you perfer. If you want to drop the car off on the way to the zoo, then it could cool down, then on the way back we could work on it. Just a thought.

I have the jack stands and they will go high enough to get the header out. I've done two at my house already.

 

This is my schedule (as dictated by the SO):
Saturday:
Breakfast w/the penguins 8:30-10:30
Birthday party (you MUST come to help me de-stress from this group) 1:30 - 3:00
Cooking begins 4p - whenever (Julie is bringing Carleigh to play w/Jordyn)

Sunday:
10 a playdate for Jordyn (thought you might want to come to possibly befriend the husband?)
After playdate - nothing scheduled.

Needless to say, Saturday is right out.

gf, the stock header has already been off/on the car using the stands I have on their bottom rung (a small bit o' scraping, but nothing too bad), but I wouldn't have called it an easy solo job. It was a huge help having Zeke there to line up the header, get it on the bolts, and provide some weight relief while I connected all of the bolts and such. I can't imagine doing that alone without a lot of extra frustration.

 

Dan,

Call me when ever you get done and we can do at ever house. i will be just working on the hood.

 

 

Is this deck for the trailer or the house????
