5150 M5 Anniversary Edition Build Thread

[Reddrig]

So today I was able to get my inventory done and get the body off and stored on my homemade body buck on my lift. I used the lift for box storage also. I numbered the boxes on all four sides for easy Identification later.

I was able to get my first part installed which was exciting, so the PS rack is in. I was disappointed because I only received one of the metal sleeves that goes into the new bushings for the rack. So I installed it and will need to go back and push the sleeve in later.

The body was a little bit of a pain in the butt, but it finally popped off. All of my coated panels were not installed, so it’s like a giant jig saw puzzle. But overall I’m very excited and got a lot of organization done today.

My frame is on two rolling dolly's made by Eastwood, so far I’m very happy with them. They fit great and make pushing the frame around easy. I made a body buck that fits between the rails in my lift, I used the regular measurements for the four posts that fit under the body wheel flare openings. So far I’m happy with that.

I’ll try to update daily as work progresses.IMG_4210.jpgIMG_4209.jpgIMG_4211.jpgIMG_4208.jpgIMG_4212.jpg
