What's on everyone's list?

Since I picked up JVT's SVT last Friday 4/28 I have done...
Plug wires, new vac tube that runs from the brake booster to the UIM, new Bendix Ti pads and freshly turned rotors for the Baers, new driver side side skirt with fresh paint from the body shop. Fixed the leaking driver axle. Replaced the trans seal and discovered it was a poorly designed axle clip on an aftermarket axle that was causing the leak. Axle wasn't in all the way! Got an OEM style clip and was good to go. Now know how to replace trans seals. LOL!

Found junyard parts to fix the sunroof motor, grabbed a trunk reflector in great condition at the yard (had a screw in it holding the chrome piece down). LOL! A new Monster power distribution block will go in tonight. Currently has a bolt tieing them together! Sometimes have to wiggle to start the car! Went Sat. to a local shop to get the exhaust mended. Was told by JVT exhaust was bent. The bolt on tips were just pushed up the piping. $20 to have them tacked on and to have a slight leak mended. Action Auto Glass is coming to my work tomorrow to replace the front windshield with OEM PPG glass(slight crack). Still have to dehaze the headlights, touch up some chips, and detail the heck out of it. Oh and new shift cable ends will be here Thurs. Bushings are kind of missing on mine.

Finished the trailer ramps project so we could load the creampuff onto the trailer.
You all can have a good laugh at our expense when we have to assemble and dismantle this piece of work.
Still need to do a wash/wax on both the truck and the SVT.
Truck needs some vacuuming.
Need to also change the tonneau cover from winter position to summer.
lol, so I guess mostly truck/trailer stuff to prepare for the trip.

Another thing that stinks. The truck only has single cd player, while the SVT has the 12 disc changer.
Looks like I'm going to have to burn some mix cd's. bleh

Oh that reminds me. Need to pull the 10 disc from the SHO and put it in the SVT.

I have this one. Only 3000 lbs but I don't lift the entire car with it.
