Al mostly off / new purchase

The Al is mostly off; I’ll finish it tomorrow.  I needed to rearrange some of the shelving to get a place to keep the Al that I removed.  I sent on order to Breeze Automotive for LCA bushings and #10 and #30 drill bits.  Neither of the two hardware stores that I checked had them.  I really miss McGuckin Hardware in Boulder!  

I decided to get a tool cart from Harbor Freight.  It was $70 and is rather sturdy and the drawer even works well.  The trays were a bit bent on two of the corners from shipping, nothing a rubber mallet couldn’t rectify, but the powder coating was a bit peeled in that area so I’ll repair that with some lacquer.  

I noticed that the DS footbox now has a kickout (you can see it to the left of the tool cart).  That’s a nice mod from the factory as I’d put one in on my first build, not without some struggle with sheet aluminum.
