Well me and my daughter have the GTM manual but what fabercation machines have people ran into that they needed. I used to be a fabercator and I am going to be setting up my shop any suggestions would be great. Me and my daughter also wanted to wish you all happy holidays and rember there is an old Navy saying, "the only easy day was yesterday". Remeber that and you will live a good life.

Engine crane to install the motor, and transmission.
I just picked up a welder to tack the exhaust, and add some material for the seat rails, as well as the transmission mount. It will also come in handy for the spoiler
mounting, and diffuser mods that many owners end up doing.
A decent floor jack, and jack stands...if not a hoist would be beneficial.
Everything else depends on your tool box content. Torque wrench, and multi-meter should be within. Also grab a fuel pressure tester for engine start-up troublehooting.
Lastly, a copy of HP Tuners will round out the "nice to have" list.

The floor jack needs to be low profile with a decent reach.
Heat Gun for heat shrink
