its 20hrs of labor to get it to as clean as it is right now with a zero mile trans, 2 brand new rear shocks, and brand new tins.

thats a rental fee you would be better off buying the car...

i worked on the car for a week straight last month while i had some down time between customer work.  It was stripped down to the bare chassis motor / trans pulled, and power washed for 2 hours.  entire chassis was wire wheeled and stripped of rust / debris.  All welds inspected and only tree bar areas found cracks and repairs made.  Chassis painted hammer black New fresh build trans installed, 2 new rear shocks installed, and new tins.  All exterior tin hardware changed to new stainless steel allen cap.  roof stripped, might build a new hood.

underside / drivetrain is race prepped with 20miles on it.  Has big boy brakes now. needs nothing to race.  has 4.10 gears currently and yukon super shafts with beat KRTs on H2's.  GPS and Radio have been pulled.  New Lifetime LED tail lights to install.  Bumpers meet line MT rules.

have 4.56 gears to swap in or put 5.38's in.  bolt the seats back in- other wise its a new car ready for race season or or wreck it for 10 years.

As for the orbital. it needs to be behind the cowl and not in the cab. Safty reasons with the hot oil incase something happens.

You guys have recommendations for shops to do service on our RV?
Looking to have the Duramax cooling system flushed and Allison transmission serviced for the new season.

Ballantyne won't service the transmission so they recommended Tracey in henrietta.
I know Mike has had experience with Regional.
I'm obviously more concerned with quality service over price with this machine!

From previous experience... no.
It's too big for their shops and lifts.
That's also why Ballantyne won't touch it.
