I already have the kit. I just gotta clean up the trailing arms then everything goes back together and I'll snap a pic of it wall before it goes back in

You did a great job under that car BTW. it looks clean enough to eat off of (if you flipped it over). Keep up the good work and keep taking lots of pics.

bolt through the oil-pan. that'll buff out.

Most definitely

Awesome work!

Thanks guys, appreciate the compliments, I brought all the hardware to work, blasted it all and just painting them now. Love the fact I bring it to work and do it all on company time haha. And before you frown you have to realize how big my company is, they net 800million a quarter... So trust me they don't notice a thing lol.

I'm having a hard time scaling the size of the bolt. If it was a rod, the nut fell off. If it was a cradle bolt, it is amazing it made it through the side of the pan. Kinda curious to see what let go. Would suck if it turned out the nut just fell off.
