On the other end of things, the front end stuff is supposed to be delivered tomorrow morning, so I dug into my pile o' parts and pulled out the front end kit and tubular upper A-arms from CPP. Had to modify the upper ball joints to clear the welds on the A-arms, which was rather irritating. Seems like the kinda thing they should have worked out in R&D — the welds in a couple areas come right up to the bolt holes, for pete's sake! But I clearanced the ball joints with a grinder and all is well.

Also drilled the second hole (red arrows — top one is an existing hole) for the front shock absorber reinforcing brackets, so those are ready to go as well.
