Got my door all sorted out. When removing the door handles the internal latch assembly had come out of its 'home', and it wasn't something I could get back seated through the 1"sq. hole I had from the outside. Went to visit some friends at the dealership today and figured out other than the two screws at the bottom of the panel, theres a 10mm bolt behind a little access door behind the door grab handle, and another hidden behind a sneaky little plate inside of the latch. With all 4 screws/bolts removed, the door pulls straight out and off via little metal V-tabs. From there I could unbolt the latch assembly through the little window and drop it down to where I could get hands on it to put it back together.
Spent way more time on it than I wanted, but I'm pretty happy with the finished product. The guys at the dealership thought they were painted, so I guess I got rid of the creases. lol
No more chrome door handles!

Got the car going after a new valve cover gasket and #3 spark plug well seal... plugs re-gapped, cooler T-stat installed.... Loaded my v8 tune with dp and CAI mods... Played with it for 2 hours... LOVE IT! Thank-you LMS for my new SHO! Wow!

A quick critique:
The good:I really think that this thread is one of the better threads going on this forum. It constantly has updates and I look forward to what people are doing to their vehicles.
The bad: Unfortunately what is happening is that a lot of really good stuff and unique ideas are getting crammed into an 87 page thread and new threads are not being created. The creation of new threads would make referencing a topic a lot easier and also probably would promote longer and more directed conversations about the topic.
Just my perspective on how we can make this forum a little more substantial and a better tool for current and new users.

I will get the go pro out later and get a clip. I thought it would be louder but I like the tone. Very close to stock but a little deeper I think. I will probably throw some magnaflows on it eventually but want to do off road down pipes first because I know that will change how the mufflers sound.SHOdded said:
