So have you actually driven this car yet? I ask because your lower control arms and transmission are spotless, as if it has never seen the road.

You Know it is! Whats even worse if you look at your calipers they have a Drill mark about 1/8 inch deep maybe little less! 3 out of 4 had it on mine, Only 1 that didnt was front passenger.
But yes it is not a Mod you measure in how long it takes you, Time & Patience!
Supercharger & Valve covers are next, SS_SC_Cobalt sent me a Valve Cover & I Ordered a new 1. So My Car isnt down while Im doing it! They should be a little easier to do>>>Lot better Aluminum content than the calipers!
