    Part of me wants to just leave the front end off to put the drive train in,...but I'm on limited time obviously so moving forward at the cost of convenience seems like the best approach

    Ethan, I use comet on my pick up truck all the time. After sitting for months in the driveway with bird crap all over it, it cleans right up. :) That paint job of mine doesn’t deserve car wash or a wax.
