Default Rear springs, inspection lamp, and front mud flaps.

Now have the rear spring sets back home. Blasted Friday, Etched and primed today, after a damn good blow with compressed air. They will be painted tomorrow, as will the remaining spring hangers etc..

I got back onto making the front mud flaps again this afternoon. All of the metal pieces have been fabricated and fit together well. I suspect the photo I was working off had a round bar weight at the bottom, but I will be using a piece of flat bar that will be easier for the guys to sew around, and this should make for a neater finish. I'll take these to the upholstery guys early in the coming week.
