Check all the holes some of mine were a little out of round and gave me trouble,if they give you more problems.
They look nice all painted up.
The holes are in good shape, luckily. Even the long shoulder bolt doesn't have any wear on it.

It's just 2 stage. House of Kolor Lime Mist. I'm not that talented to do a 3 stage, unless you want to count the sealer before color as a stage

Not at all happy with the hood to fender gaps. I guess that's not surprising, considering I haven't been very pleased with much of this build, as far as body gaps go. 🤣
The gaps at the very front and rear are good, but it's like the hood/fenders are bowed in the middle. When I lay a straight edge along the length, I can see some daylight, so it is bowed a little.
I went ahead and added a 1/8" thick piece of metal along the length of the hood, to help close it off.
Hopefully, I can finish it off tomorrow. 14 and 15 hour days at work are taking it's toll on me.🥱
Looser than a hooker on 50 cent night
Ends are good. about 3/16" or a little less
Middle is about 1/4" No bueno
1/8" x 1/2" flat bar, welded along the edge and ground down. Bottom side
Top side
Finish grinding

WOW!!! Has it been 3 months since I last posted!!?
I've been working pretty much, 7 days a week lately.
Here's a little update. I finally got my wheels ordered, built and received. Mounted the tires on the rear ones. It's a super tight fit, but these pics are with the springs out of the coil overs, and the suspension fully collapsed, which it will never be that far up in the travel, because I will be installing jounce bumpers to keep the suspension pieces from hitting the frame.
Just a little test fit!!! Like a kid at Christmas
Now with the tires. You can see how close to the outer lip, the tire is. It doesn't rub, and like I said, that's with the suspension fully collapsed, and the upper arm hitting the frame
