Post #8 from Dan about Shelby reminds me how we work :-)
Eventually it all fits.

I have all the CSX 4000 drawings. One example of mis-fit is the assembly of LCA to rear upright. After the LCA was welded and coated I fit it to the upright. Only to find that there is a slight interference - with the weld if I remember correctly. Means grinding LCA - and powder coating it, again.

The idea was to save time while waiting for the uprights to come back from machining.
And sending all 4 (6) suspension parts for coating in the meantime.

While i am at it, the dampener spring perch can also cause an interference with the LCA (damper mount), if you don't get the exact damper. More grinding - and powder coating...

I spray paint parts now. With a can.

1.000 hours to build a CSX, instead of 275 hours? Easy...
