Cleaned.

If you have ever, in your entire life done something dumb/stupid working on a car, don't respond to the jackstand conversation.

I bet I could guarantee that 99% of all of us have looked under a car at one time or another without a jackstand.....so pretty much nobody has any room to talk.

Whatever you do, make sure the person that puts the stuff on is not a MORON. I am currently working on a car put together in STL and it appears that damn near every bolt was put back in with an impact. Cross threaded? No problem, just go until the head is flush. Head broke off? Bolt in far enough that the part won't fall back off? No problem. Out of cotter pins for castle nuts? No problem. Blows my mind every day how stupid some people are when they are working on a car. They made torque specifications for a reason and it was not to make you have to buy a tool. They also made male and female threads match for a reason and it was not to have your impact make new ones because you were too dumb to start the bolts before pulling the trigger....

Anyway, make sure the person that puts them on your car actually cares about what they are doing and does it right. Who cares if it takes 5 minutes longer to put anti-seize or grease onto bolts that may rust into a bushing sleeve, thread them in by hand, and then tighten them by hand. Keeps you from having stretched bolts and ruined threads that way.

I've seen work like this before... from the sound of it though, Rob will be doing the install and Rob has always been extremely well organized and has done great work on all my cars.

I think his car will turn out very well with Rob's help.

Only people as of now that will be touching the car will be rob and myself. If we cant do everything that ends up being done to the car then aside from that would be my parents mechanic that has been working on my cars since i began driving.
