"FYI- A front-end re-do makes you look like a coal miner."
You must be doing something wrong. You're not supposed to crawl around on
grease covered floors - use a piece of cardboard. Wear nitrile gloves. You
will get dirty but looking like a coal miner is a little exagerated. I've
ripped apart 4 front ends from parts cars and did not consider that the
dirtiest job. Try scrapping off the undercoating :(
Do take off your shoes though as you don't want to have your carpets grease
marked.
