On to Stage 2! Lipstick on the pig..... At Schierer Customs in Sahuarita, AZ. Awesome people, around 90 day turn around. Best part is I get to help (read as shaving dollars from the weekly invoices).

2nd and hopefully last complete teardown for a good long while.

Then off to Lone Wolf Customs for a 4L60E, new computer and lots of other little details. An awesome and incredibly busy fab shop between the Schierers and me. Keeping things in the hood!

Then back to me for reassembly.......guess I better get the garage cleaned out!
