I put in the lower control arms on the front suspension and siliconed and riveted the F panels today. Things I learned: the pneumatic riveter is awesome but make sure you put the right size nose piece in for the rivet size you are using. Acetone is powerful stuff and will remove ink on the F panel like it was just dust. I also learned you can use both washers on the rear half of the lower control arms to take up the extra spacing but it worked best to slide them in together. (A light touch of grease and some gentle love from a plastic dead blow hammer didn't hurt either.) I had to buy a 6 point half inch drive 21mm socket for the bolt heat and a 15/16 inch wrench for the nut. They get you on buying these individually. The most fun part of putting in the lower control arms was getting to use the big torque wrench!
