Good point about the grade 8 hardware. Right now I am using the CE grade 5 bolts to put everything together but I am going to tear it all down once the holes are drilled so that I can finish painting the frame, and once I do that I will put it all back together with grade 8 stuff.

I did some small things today:

- Hung the a-arms/spindle/wheel so that I could check for wheel centering (perfect!)

- Cut the inner fenders to clear the upper spring pockets.

- Drilled about 10 holes attaching the upper spring pocket to the frame. I'm about halfway there, there's about 10 more to go.
