I got the front inner fender lower flaps modified and had to take a slice out of the passenger one to make it fit. Also replaced the 6 sheetmetal screw "nuts" with 1/4-20 weld nuts and they're ready for spraying the bedliner when we get a decent day without rain.
I installed the j-weatherstrip seals on the doors but haven't worked on the door weatherstrips yet. Messed around with the interior door beltline molding but can't really do much with it until the door panels are done.
Finally got the rear coilover shocks adjusted down to ride height. The adjuster nut is a little off the bottom with the halfshafts level. I still have some weight to put in it....interior, windshield seats, etc. I estimate there is another 200 pounds or so on the rear when finished and full of gas. The front is already just about where it belongs, maybe a little high, but I still have the fenders and hood to install as well as the windshield. I'll make final tweaks when it's all together and interior is in.
Also worked on the front and rear wheel alignment and have it really close with a tape measure and digital level. I think I'm going to build some tools to make it more accurate and easier for the final alignment.

I'm going with the daily driver settings for now. Can you really measure 1/32" of toe in? Not with a tape!!I really like how my rear strut rods and toe rods make adjusting them easy. I did have to lift the rear tires off the ground to adjust camber, then set it back down and bounce on it to check again. I need to make some slider plates so I don't have to do that. Both sides in the rear are now at 0 degrees camber and the toe is zero but I'm not going to change it until later.
In the front the passenger side is at zero camber and the driver's side is at 1.0 degree. I need to add another pair of shims to move it to zero. The toe is right on now, but it will probably change with the camber change so I'll re-do it too.
Going to set it on the floor before long.
