Need place to have a Head Gasket Party in N. Carolina Sept 6, 7, or 8th 2008

Heres the deal. I'm a helicopter pilot and am going to work in the Gulf of Mexico. I needed a vehicle down there anyhow, so started looking, and "accidentally" won an explorer off Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...270786173&rd=1. Not a bad deal for less than $800.

But it needs a head gasket. So I bought new heads and such and looks like I found a place to do the work, so what I'm looking for here is a headcount of who will show up, especially as we get closer to the date so I can plan on the amount of beer and dead meat to purchase.
heres the original thread http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220603

Please feel free to help, I hope to get this done in record time, so if you've done a 5.0 before please lend a hand.

Thanks
Randy
 






I could help here, but not there. I'll try and make it, but don't RSVP me just yet.

Oops, I meant Greensboro. I'm flying into Raleigh so got a bit confused.
 






Need a place to replace headgaskets.

Looks like the place I had to do the work is now not available, (thanks Dopler174 it was a nice try). So the truck is in Charolette, NC. Anybody near there have a place to do the work and a few basic tools?

I really don't have anyway to drive this very far it pours water out the tailpipefairly quickly, andI kinda got suckered into it in the first place so just trying to salvage the situation.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer,


Thanks
Randy
