Countless audio tear-downs, countless exhaust setups, working on putting together my second LS motor here shortly, fuel pump, pulled the trans. on the Colorado and once on the Sierra, plumbing nitrous, plenty of wiring, swapped the LSX and the 2.8 in/out the Colorado, e-fan's, intake manifold for a good friend, and the in's and out's that come along with typical ownership. All that, and the occassional bolt-on's. I've been guilty of taking my truck to a few places when I just don't feel like messing with it, but I can't say I've done that in a good while. I like to take my time and work on my own stuff, mainly. I can always learn something new.

Parted out numerous trucks. Assembled 20+ engines. Did a couple dozen small block swaps in s10's. 3 complete s10 builds. A few engine swaps in nbs. Currently doing two complete builds a s10 blazer destroked 6.0 turbo 4l80e gutted, and a awd 01 silverado frame is almost completely stripped then build will start. Only thing I haven't done is a trans rebuild.
