I guess I missed how you got from taking legal action to delivery of the car? Congratulations never the less and good luck with the build now.
Let us gloss over that, and good vibes forward.
Agreed, lets just say that the issue was resolved in a manner that was satisfactory for all parties involved.
I am very pleased with the work done by RCR, and will leave it with that, and proceed with the build.
Regards
Jeff

Ready for tear down, flip chassis for undercoat.
Highly recommend the spinner removal tool, I'll loan my out locally for beer.

my understanding from Rick Muck is you still must strike your knockoffs to "set them". This tool is great for removing them. But when tightening them, after getting there with the tool, shock them with your lead hammer.

Tool or no tool, it is really easy to gaul the mating surfaces. During the build process the wheels will be on and off multiple times in a not ideal environment. I recommend a bit of dry lubricant. Ask me how I know 
Front end stripped, on to the back, hope to have a tub flipping party on Saturday. Randy had a good suggestion to just set the tub on its side, will use that as a back up plan.
I'm going to post here and on Facebook for those that don't use Facebook, and also to contribute to the searchable archive.

Consider holding off reassembling the suspension. It is easier to figure out your engine mounts with easy access.
Also, if you have a +2 or +4 rear suspension, consider hogging out the lower four link openings before undercoating. If I remember correctly, about 1/4” outboard and 1/4” down.
Waiting for some Raptor coating supplies, so was test fitting my exhaust, RCR snakes to 302/347, noted the same issue others have had, i.e., the head flange prevents spark plug removal. So I confirmed I can use the inner of the two mounting holes, this would allow me to machine off the mounting ear on the flange which prevents spark plug removal. I don't want to remove exhaust to change plugs. What does the collective think?
