Wow you need to get some quick release bolts for making it faster to re & re ... How long does it take you now!

Baller I don't think so I think of a Baller that just goes out and pays for people to do the best with the most expensive parts. Arthur buys the best parts possible at a good rate then installs everything himself.

I would say he is an extreme car hobbyist that know his **** and built(ing) a monster.

When you talk to DOMinic next tell him I say Hi! ;-)

Quick release bolts... like QR20 front axles for bikes?

I actually have it down pretty quick now. From popping the hood to having the motor on the engine stand it's about 3.5 hours?

Yeah, I've probably saved thousands of dollars by doing everything myself. When I first started off I was like most people... how to do an oil change, how to change brake pads, bleed brakes, exhaust, intake, etc... Then you slowly start to build confidence, take chances and learn to do things by yourself. You have to have the time too I guess... and not a lot of people have time.
