Well the good news is that the driver's side is back on and looks awesome stance wise.  The bad news is that I found a rotted rubber brake line :(

That's a fun one to change.  :dupe:  I hope you have a small "C" style type of wrench to get the solid lines off of the block that mounts on the rear axle. You don't want to strip those nuts.

I have an ace in the hole as far as that goes.  My father in law is a 30 year experienced mechanic.  He's got at least 3 sets of every tool known to man.
