Suspension progress

Suspension is coming along nicely - most of the tabs are welded onto the frame already and 5 of 8 a-arms are welded.  The inserts will be done by today for the rest of them a-arms, and we should have them all welded in less than a week.  From there, we need to ream, chamfer, and stake in bearings, and the suspension should be finished at that point.
The frame as it sits right now
