Our Progress on the Front Suspension

We mounted the upper and lower control arms. The shock absorber attaches to the lower arm and the frame. In between the two arms is a spindle, this allows the wheels to turn left and right. 
On the spindle is a hub, this is where the wheel gets bolted on and what allows the wheel to spin. 
After that we assembled the calipers and brake disk stuff. 
We then mounted those on the hub. 
After that we started on the front aluminum panels, this was supposed to be the first step but we hadn't gotten our rivet gun yet. 
I would mark the panels with sharpie and then my dad would drill holes in the panels and in the frame. Then you place the rivets in the holes and use the gun. This squeezes a pin through a collar and fills up the hole. 
After that we mounted the firewall. 
We also put some silicone on the joins to seal it and prevent rattling.
