David,
I know you guys are pros ("...our installs take about 10 minutes."), but I have to ask why:
1. You wouldn't place any protective coverings/blankets over that beautiful bodywork? I realize at one point you mention a 1/4" clearance on the bottom of the pan.
2. The chains holding up the motor look like they would pound those polished valve covers. Do you folks at least wrap them up with shop towels?
BTW, your piece on swapping out the tranny input shaft was so thorough that it scared the @#$% out of me to the point that I would never attempt the R&R myself!
