    Although I'm not on the tightest budget in the world on this, I would spend the time to get a good durable finish instead of the cost to powder coat everything. It's just going to be my least favorite part. I guess it will make it more worth it in the end too.

    I'm really not a fan either. Part of the reason this section of the build is so slow is my motivation is not the same as mechanical work. But I have to get it done before the chassis gets here in 7 weeks cause motivation level 15 will hit and I don't want to hurry/ short cut it
