Bill V - for the subframe bushings, when you say front end off, do you mean all including the sheet metal or just the center section that holds the radiator, hood latch, etc? I read your "Notes from Bill V's garage" post andthere was talk of things coming out of alignment if too much was taken off? I don't want to make this job any bigger than it already is...
Bronze Bird - I literally laughed out loud at the missile launchers. That was great.
Gus68 - for the cleaning and painting suggestions, are you referring to the bay or the engine? or both?
