Everything has gone up so much it's silly. Damned inflation. I'm waiting for parts to come in now. The driver side coil bucket was fine. All the rivets are removed.
The solid transmission crossmember is in except for the single bolt on the driver's side. I almost put in backwards. It actually fits surprisingly well that way. 2 of the 3 holes lined up. Probably gonna have to buy some more 7/16 fine thread bolts and locknuts to get everything bolted up.
I brushed some Rustoleum rusty metal primer and flat black on the frame. Should've got the 8oz cans. Quarts of each were WAY too much. Maybe I'll use it eventually.
Brackets all lined up:
The pitting under the passenger coil bucket:
And a couple extra pics of my other project vehicle:
