Another update. Followed Alan’s advice and the front bumper trim went on much easier.
Installed a floor jack in the spare tie well with leather straps to hold the tool kit. Also added bracket and belt for spare tire.
Major milestone today, it is now registered and on the road in SC!
I would like to thank everyone on this site who offered great advice and support, it is much appreciated. Special thanks to Carey and the team at Special Edition for the great support. And last but not least, thanks to @Lane Anderson with all of the assistance getting the engine installed.
