I think they can coat them but generally discourage it's likely to get scuffed when being shipped. They strap the sub down with metal bands which could leave marks. The crates are awesome but the sub could get scuffed regardless.
I would guess delivery would take a little over a month, but you better get an answer from Morrison on that. They would have to order the Diff & Axles from Strange and the Driveshaft Shop so that needs to figure into the time it takes.

99.9% chance they won't coat anything they send. To many issues with doing so.

I got to see Mary's Camaro in action last Sunday at the autocross in Marina--it was awesome. What was weird was how much more it moved like a newer Corvette than an old track car. The body and wheels were in constant motion (independently), and yes, the car stuck like an angry !@#$%.

What was fun was relaying Mary's time to a kind of intense guy who runs a GT2 or GT3 Porsche (with slicks). He was in chronic disbelief, and I quite enjoyed reassuring/informing him of what he'd witnessed. He was not beating the old Camaro...

I was glad to finally run the Marina course, and it sucks to hear that it will be gone soon (I've heard the same about Mather, with only two weekends this year). After doing Goodguys on Saturday, Marina felt like a giant truckstop--totally awesome contrast. With all the room, I couldn't figure out where to put my car ('cuz I suck, and have nil auto-x experience); I might have done better pulling my car on the trailer, and I still wouldn't have hit any cones.

That's great news. Hoping Mary will kick some butt this season.

Hi David,
It has been awhile since I have been on the site but was really excited to see what you have done on the 2nd Gen IRS installation. There was little info out there on what is involved. Your posts are a breath of hi octane fuel with great pictures!
I have been sitting with a AM Rear sub frame project for a year or so trying to decide if I am capable of tackling its installation. I have the AM front subframe, DSE tubs. My buddies have told me to not tackle it and go another route. Well, your pictures while a different install have some help clear the air on what is involved. Many of the same challenges I expect I will have. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post them.
I expect I will have to completely cut out the frame rails, raise the trunk pan, fab up the floor similar to what you have done inside. Lots of work but looks doable to me now that I have seen some of what is involved.

Good stuff Dave!.. that IRS looks killer!.. can't wait to see it run on the track!
Sucks about Marina.. hope I can get mine finished up soon to get a few runs in.

Not fair putting Mary in the video's. She could drive a horse and buggy faster then most of us in AWD super car
Matt kicked ass on this. Now I want IRS
