      Decent shops in the area? I have a crazy idea but I'd need someone with time and a lift.

      My parts car has an excellent condition drivetrain (shocks and brakes done recently, stainless steel brake lines, etc), my 4 door is shit all around. I want to see if it's possible to stick both cars on lifts, disconnect everything, and swap them. I'd also want to redo the diff mount and all the bushings/tie rods while I was at it.

      Is this crazy talk? It just seems like a ton of work to pull all of that stuff individually and then reinstall (2x, since I'd still like my parts car to at least roll).

        There's a shop that just opened up in kirkland where you can rent lifts, and they will provide a toolchest full of tools for you to use.

                        Yeah, I thought that was weird that they used and open trailer... I guess they don't have to worry about rain like we do!

                                One of the weirder things about SEMA is that outside is like a giant car show except joe-anyone can't just bring a car, you don't hang out by it, don't leave a sign by it (usually), and you often don't even have labels for your brand on it.

                                Sometimes there is a business card under the wiper of who built it.

                                But yeah, you can't just bring a car to SEMA.
