I’m not totally surprised with as clean as it is, still very remarkable. I was thinking about that crossmember and center link, I’m wondering if they unloaded it at the salvage yard with a forklift. I know that particular yard has a couple of great big forklifts they use to move their inventory around. I’ve watched them unload and move them around, they aren’t very gentle most of the time.

Anyway, it’s looking AWESOME!
