Thanks to all of you! This all seems to be so much more difficult than I was expecting, but hopefully I can get everything sorted out.

Apart from the rear shocks, some the smaller things that I didn't consider an issue seem like they will become one. Such as, removal of pretty much everything inside of the interior besides the dash and guages.

I'll have to see what the people in my area(Chicago region) have to say. I really just want to get out and have some fun.
