Day 1

Removed the body and the aluminum panels. Here is a time lapse video of the process no audio:
Moved on to installing the front suspension, but there was a problem...
They shipped the rear lower end arms in this box instead of the fronts...Plus we are using a solid axle rear-end, so these won't even fit. I'll have to ring them up :)

Moving on, we assembled and installed the fully adjustable upper control arms after riveting the "F" panel to the chassis. This is a driver side front shot:

Same for the passenger side front:

Assembled the adjustable Koni's:

I did a test fit with the supplied hardware, but the spacers were off (size wise, too big) and really rough...unfinished. So I took the Dremel to them. Original on top, sanded and fitted on the bottom:

I'll paint them tomorrow to match the frame. Day 1 over. Up to page 41 of the manual, minus the lower arms of course.
