      From disassembly to finished bolted product you're probably looking at 2-2.5 hours MAX. Depends on how fast your paint dries.
      It helps to have a set of four jack stands, then you can do everything at the same time as opposing to doing the front/rear first and then moving on to the other side...

      Just get the GM Performance ones from Walmart. They're cheap, and they hold up my full size 76'Chevy just fine.

      I'd recomend just tape of around the area and put newspaper or something because it is mucho easier doing it that way. As for the paint use the Duplicolor Hi Temp one because my boyfriend used that one and so it is holding off pretty good and don't forget to get the clear coat can. He did 3 layers of paint and 3 clear coat but first clean the drum surface so the pain will stick in better.

      If by any chance you do it they way I suggested it will take 30 minutes on each side, then once everything its done leave the drums to dry at least 1 or 2 hours so that way if you put the wheels back on it won't get dirty due to being wet still.

      thats what you think, im so good i can drift with a fwd car


      Anyone can drift a front wheel drive car, but using an e-brake, not when your vtech/turbo/supercharger/nos kicks in...

      I drive my car in reverse when I drift, that way I can get my rear tires loose


      Speaking of which, has anyone seen those customized Opels disney has for their lights motors action show? B.a. and a half
