well, it's not really that hard. cleaning the engine bay only take about 2 days with the color you want for your valve cover. to drop your engine bay... take about aweek to week and ahalf. depend on how many hours you put into it. in my case.. i still have no life.

damn...wish i still live in socal. if i did. you guys would see me working on your 2 all the time.

fire her up alex!!! good luck and hope you have no issue

yeah.. but, not looking forward for any house job. new project is the best. reason is ....don't have to break, cut, knock down, and trash anything.

i did afew houses on the bay of san francisco. the one on top of the hill over looking the football dome next to the bay. sorry, forgot the name of it.

you guys remember afew years back in Sacramento when afew asian guy held some people in the mall? think they made a movie or film out of it. anyway, i was working near by at the time. and that was the mall i always go to. to visit a girl i like at the moment. but, end up dating her younger sister. hahaha..

but, lucky for me. she was not working at the time. which end up with me not going. now.... how lucky was that.

other one....

in the big san francisco earthquake of 1989. there were this one bridge i take every day to get into san francisco for work. that bridge sandwich so many cars and many ppl die. as for me... when this happen. the week before, i decided to fly back to texas.

so, i guess there is someone up there looking out for me.
