Got everything back from powdercoating. After 17 years the first completed pieces.

I bought one of these Shop Grips from Notchead for polishing bolts. This thing is slick. Bought all of the collets to do 1/4" - 1/2". Will come in very handy polishing all of the hardware for this thing.

I also stumbled across a great company www.extsw.com They make all kinds of special washers, spacers etc. Their quality is incredible. I had them make me a bunch of 5/16 and 3/8 washers that are recessed for ARP bolts for various locations throughout the car. Also they make spacers in various sizes which is great for suspension and bracket needs.

Hope to have the front done this weekend and start on the rear.

Those recessed washers are a very nice touch. Glad you're making progress. Congrats!

Making some progress... Aside from the tie rod ends (still waiting on them) got the front suspension buttoned up. Fuel tank mounted, fuel and brake lines mostly done. So nice I already made these, truly just putting the puzzle together now. Painted the master tonight so hopefully button up the brake lines this week. Next stop though rear suspension and brakes!!

Had a very productive weekend!! Set out and accomplished everything I intended without a single hiccup. Got the rear end and all the suspension wrapped up. Third member, axles, emergency brake and rotors installed. Master cylinder and brake lines are also all wrapped up. Next up rear calipers and then move back to the front and button up the brakes.
