Davis,
   
  I was looking at the photos in your journal. I can relate to the tedious work.......been there, done that. 
   
  You may have already done this but........since everything is so clean, now would be a good time to go ahead and add welds along the edges of the shock towers. Doing this will provide added strength in the front end. I beefed mine up by adding welds to the shock towers in the engine compartment and the wheel wells. I
 also added welds to all the edges of all the uni-body structures.
   
  Keep up the good work.
   
  Rick
