I did powder coat the frame, now I'm thinking about the rear end, springs and all the rest of the suspension. The rear axle isn't a candidate for powder coating, so I'm looking at the options.

Speaking of the frame, the guy I bought it from ground off the rivets on some connections, like one of the rear spring mounts. Can I just bolt them back on, and if so, do I need a hardened grade or anything special?

Thanks for the input!
