we need tail gate chairs! lol there will be a lot of down time i'm sure

as far as tools we will also need:
flat head screw drivers, preferably 2+ that are long
oven mitts or mechanical gloves
blue painters tape

all of this has been edited to be reflected on post 7, i'll keep this updated as best as possible!

10mm socket, extension and ratchet.

Also, to give the meet-up some flair does something along the lines of "1st Annual Mid-Atlantic Tech Daze" sound a little better?

LOL was just throwing it out there. This reminds me of tech daze we used to do in Vegas with our motorcycles. We'd get some seasoned mechanics along with novices and teach hands on maintenance on their own rides and instill confidence. It's surprises me that there are still people that can't change their own oil and it could be due to lack of a mentor.

This gathering has the potential to become a standing traditon.

i agree with this whole statement. I always believed that being half the fun in being a car enthusiast was actually getting your hands dirty! these install meets are always fun but what i've noticed in the last few years is that these install meets = 2-3 people working on the cars, the other 10+ people sit on their butts, eat, drink lol

Sales@AAMComp · 08-10-2012, 11:30 AM

everyone please revise the "to bring" list, it's apparent that working on 8 cars will mean more than 1 set of tools.. lol

I'll be there around 10 AM

I love working on the Z, and the S2000, I'll show you a thing or two, dude Im gonna knock out these cars in BEAST mode... watch me! The Z is an amazing machine, its a whole nother animal when you take the undershroud off, its beautiful. Its truly a piece of art.

the outside of the lens can be cleaned with pretty much anything, don't worry about getting adhesive on it, simple plastix or any kind of paint cleaner will take care of that. I think we used bug and tar remover on mine lol

The inside is another story. assuming it's clean already I would just leave it inside the house or somewhere it will not be affected by dust or debris. Cleaning the inside of the lens sounds smart but the smarter route is not to clean it at all if it doesn't need cleaning! Why clean something when it's not dirty haha I say this becuase a lot of time, doesn't matter what you use, it will leave smudge marks, you might not see it but I can assure you once everything is back on, you probably have missed a spot and now it's too late to undo it!

b1adesofcha0s · 08-10-2012, 01:05 PM

Not everyone needs to bring their own socket and wrench. I think one or two will be enough

falconfixer · 08-10-2012, 01:11 PM

So who's manning up and bringing the hookers and blow?
