We put the valve stems in and took the center locks off the wheels to get the tires put on. We were going to have the tires mounted today but they guy was out of the shop, So instead we took the time to start putting the front end together!

Front end is complete now except for the swaybar that just came in. We are working on getting the chassis rolling so we can drop the body on next week some time! We will be steam cleaning the rear end to get all of the grime and stuff out per instructions and assembling the rear end tomorrow!

Rolled the chassis outside today and steam cleaned the rear end! Got all the grime out of it in preparation to start assembling the rear end so next week we can roll the chassis under the body for the first time!

Thats it for now! :thumbsup:
