Hanging the rear end is pretty straight forward, other than the lower control arms being a different width. I was hoping to get it completely hung but it turns out I am missing a rod end. It was in the box list as missing but not the POL. I sent them an email and will wait for it to show up.

As an aside being my 3rd build I am having a hard time not getting frustrated with the back order system. A few days ago there was an article about how the warehouse is undergoing a re org and parts are delayed. They did this already. My first build was in Covid jail, nothing to be done. 2nd one was pretty smooth. 3rd I am struggling because I am missing so many key parts. Also you are "delivering" kits in 6 weeks but not really if it takes another 4-6 weeks to get me the parts. I am desperately trying to keep a good attitude but if you can't get me parts I think you have an obligation to give me an ETA. Emails are going 3 to 4 days without replies. I am going to call today..... end rant





Now that I am kind of stuck again (I think I might start goofing around with the doors, but I am missing hinges), I was thinking about lighting and found the holes in the corner bracing. I saw another builder put LED's in there. I just happen to have some on hand and sure enough they fit nice. I am going to route the wires through the frame. It think this will make real functional dome lights. I modified a washer since the rubber mount was meant for a thicker hole. Ground a little away to clear the welds. I will powder coat the washer when I do a batch of brackets and such.
