Build Day Nine - Friday, June 25

Parts Arrived! Now we can get to the suspension, and it was an exercise in frustration. Nothing fit right, nuts were buggered, causing trips to Lowe's. Instructions sucked. If it were not for the build class we took in April and the FFCobra forum, we would never have gotten as far as we did. Still undone: Fitting the hubs to the front spindles. After trying every trick posted on the forum, they still will not go on.

1. Emery Paper to smooth down the spindle - Nope
2. Boil the Hub sleeve and pack the spindle in ice - Nope
3. Put the spindles in the freezer overnight and the hub sleeves in the oven for 30 minutes - Nope
4. Take the entire set up to a machinist - We'll see
