looks good! taking them out is the easy part. getting the dowls to line back up so it slides back home is the harder part. i've found a few big pry bars help convince it back home when it comes to that point!

what's the plan with the motor/car? iirc isn't this the LS2 car that was posted for sale not long ago?
