It's in the garage and I took a few photos (in the garage). They aren't great, but you can get an idea of what kind of work I still have cut out for me.
Don't give me any crap about the picture sizes. I switched this machine to Windows Vista and my resizer won't work and I had to find another one. So, I'm stuck with what I've got right now. It's a bit ugly, and plenty dusty, but it's "mine".

UPS brought me more toys and Jegs supplied the rest (I had to give them money, but either way, the stuff came from there).
The ground control stuff is here. The sponsor stickers are making their way onto the car. The power steering cooler has arrived (and I have hose for it too now). The steering wheel has been swapped out (Do you hear that Costas?).

On the front weight jack, is there a thrust bearing between the upper mount and the bolt, or are those just big washers? I assume that it is not bolted tight, since the bolt needs to rotate relative to the mount. I should have bought the GC kit. I’m having trouble with my rears. |

I assume that it is not bolted tight, since the bolt needs to rotate relative to the mount. My set don't have a bearing and were bolted tight when I got them. I assumed that the idea is that the whole hat rotates in the spring pocket. But over time the bolt will lossen up and just the threaded shaft will turn. |

But over time the bolt will lossen up and just the threaded shaft will turn. I tried having the bolt tight on my rear jacks and it got kinda hung up when adjusting. I'm going to try keeping the bolt a little loose but use loctite on the threads. |
