With a shop and skills like yours, that's probably true.

For many of us, the long days of huffing MEK and scraping are probably faster. (dont breathe MEK!!! get a properly fitted and filtered mask)

I chose the easiest and heaviest option -- leave that bleep where they put it and cover it with upholstery.
