Welp, evidently, speaking about not speaking about something in order to prevent a jinx is just as bad speaking about it.

The first two bed bolt came out nice and easy. The most inner bolt decided to snap off my bit in the first attempt at turning it.

You would think that this would be the halfway point but it's not, lol. It's going to rain all day so I doubt there will be any more work done today. I also still need to get a couple new 47 sockets for the bed bolts.

Some jackass would probably actually try and do that.

Looks good so far!

I've posted it elsewhere already but I should update the thread for posterity sake. Great results. Well worth it.
