Finally getting closer to the day when I'll get my kit.
In the meantime I was working on parts that are not included in the base kit. Bought some new and some used parts from different websites, local sellers and FFR forum members. After I got the parts, my buddy agreed to help me to clean these parts and get it ready to powder coat. Sandblasting got the job done nicely. Here is picture after sandblasting

I contacted speace-atl from the other ...

Back in the day ... we could at least plan on parts back ordered, usually a long list of misc parts, we could, some of us, patiently wait for. Arriving home we would round the corner, see well up the street, at the front door of OUR house, boxes piled up with FFR lettered on them. Just a little quicker we drive down the street and like kids at Christmas open the boxes to see what might have come in this delivery. You never knew what day they would arrive, you just waited. Fast forward to now... ...

Finally the front suspension and brakes are done. I think might be re-greasing them.

After playing with different spacers and torque settings finally got all the castle nuts to line up so they would accept cotter pins.

After that got done I torqued the wheel hubs on used 230 ft lbs of torque the book said 225-250 so I went with 230. The hubs spin pretty freely but not as much as they did before they were torqued I hope that was right. A few friends were questioning ...
