Build Day One - Friday, June 11, 2010

Today we began work. First order of business was to inventory everything. That went pretty well, even though it took 4 hours. Everything was accounted for except one part - A piece of engine compartment aluminum. I called Factory Five, and they are sending one. Should be here next week.

So, "Accounted For" does not mean it is here; it also means that they marked it as back order. So, Road Block #1 - The rear end is not here, nor is the lower control arms for the front suspension. My build will be delayed a bit until those arrive. Hopefully next week.

We were able to assemble the brakes and shocks, as well as install the upper ball joints into the upper control arms. We went ahead and installed the upper control arms on the frame, but thats as far as we got with the missing parts.

We'll do a little aluminum work tomorrow.
