A departed good friend once said they should just make one set of instructions for ALL aftermarket parts.
1. Take off the old sh-t
2. Bolt on the new sh-it
3. Turn the key and go
Over the last 50 or so years I have found 4 exceptions that come to mind
1. Schumacher conversion mounts
2. Trim parts
3. RMS suspension
4. Legendary interiors
I think my old buddy was probably a lot more accurate with his thoughts on almost every aftermarket parts. His went like this:
1) Take the old stuff off, save it, you might have to put it back on.
2) Test fit and modify the new stuff to fit like it was suppose to fit.
3) After modification, bolt it on, and hope it works.
4) Clean the mess up. Go drive it. Then keep the mess cleaned up.
5) If it doesn't work, you can put the old stuff back on, and sell the fancy junk at a swap meet!
#1 wasn't gonna happen especially with a case of Bud light
#2 Test fit, Now we're rocking, get me another Beer
#3 Get me another beer
#4 After 6 beers modifications looking good, Get me another beer
#5 Bolt it on and admire your CRAFTMANSHIP AND INGENUITY while having another beer
#6 Send the wife for more beer
#7 If it doesn't work right, have another beer and force it
#8 Have 2 more beers while digging through the trash and empty beer cans looking for the original.
#9 HMM Looks better now, have another beer and throw the original in the swap meet pile.
#10 have more beers while cleaning up the carnage
#11 next morning wonder who screwed your car up
BTW I've been dry for 5 years
