3 things.
First, I want it welded (just a preference). I can't weld.
Second, there was other work being done to the car. So, it was in the shop anyway.....
Last, nobody was raped.... It pays to know people..... Labor is/was not an issue for me.....
If that isn't good enough, then try one of these....
Thanks for the concern. But, it's my money and I can spend however I like....
Or, you folks missed the point. It doesn't matter who is doing the work. Just that the Stingers were getting installed.....
Or, I don't have jackstands and/or the right tools......
Or, I live in Oregon. It's raining and I don't want to lay in the cold water for an hour, or more....
Or, I work so I don't have the time to do the install, right now....
Or, I make a couple mil a year. So, my time is worth more at work than it is under the car....
Take your pick, or make up some another one......
BTW, the car sounds great....
