Got a little bit done today. Still waiting for the tubular LCAs to arrive (UPS says 10/7) so decided it was time to get the K-member bolted back on. Managed to get that done with only four (yes, FOUR) trips back and forth to two different stores for hardware. The gas cost me more than the bolts! Good thing it's not that far. While up front, I decided to set the CPP tubular motor mounts in place to see how they would work. Looks good! They're not bolted in permanently, just finger-tight.

Also stripped and powdercoated the front backing plates. Had previously coated them with Rust Converter and Rust Encapsulator, but that was before I had my blasting cabinet and powdercoating setup. I think they turned out rather nice.
