My latest addiction

I am in pure "Parts Gathering" mode since the body, frame, and axles are still out on walkabout.  I have become addicted to powdercoating - the parts leave here a grimy, oily mess, and come back all shiny new looking.

I am also addicted to browsing the vendor websites for all the new shiny parts they sell.  I have to curb myself to a "just-in-time" approach and only order what I need for the next big task.  Here is a portion of what I've had powdercoated as well as purchased

not sure why the picture is upside down - it isn't that way on my computer and yes, I tried rotating and uploading to fool the software but it keeps "right-siding" it.

So the next big task is to get all of the underframe components back on: axles, suspension, brakes, engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshaft - all the things that are easy when the body isn't sitting in the way.
