Few less things

Started again kinda late, but I still managed to get some work done.  I started by taking off and painting the front cross member, something that for whatever reason has been put off for a while now.  With final fitments and assembly, I wanted to get it out of the way.  That itself wasn't a big deal, as I had to change to coilovers, so shit had to come apart.  One thing I forgot was the exhaust manifold gaskets, so we couldn't install the engine for the last time like I wanted to.  But live and learn.  
I did get the dipstick hole plugged up, something I was a little worried about.  But with Vin's great setup, it was a easy task.  A little threadsealer and a spare bolt and it became a non issue.
As I was leaving I again didn't grab the radiator bracket, so I'm going to try to make it over there in the next few days, as well as grabbing the rear coilover mounts from Megan's to see if they will work with Stances I got.   If they do, that saves me some time and puts me on the road faster.  And at this point every little bit helps.  Wiring and cooling systems are going to be next, I've been slacking in both departments and need to get back to research a little more.
