Is you go gears in the rear before you put the rear under the car?

Been a busy weekend steering column in, new ball joints, fuel pump with lines installed, new rear in, lca's bolted in, heater hose mod on rear coils, front coils cut one complete coil, a pillar done, nitrous press and afr ready to be wired up. Next steering linkage and brakes/ebrake. Btw having access to a rollback, lift, and tranny jack is very nice

Alright moving on paint is getting delayed since I found a gfx for the front and needs a bit of work so going to wait till thats done then send it. Also gauges wired up. Oh and this is how the covers turned out really happy with it and figured out something pretty cool for the pcv hose system. Just bought a 411 ecu and a bcm with matching key so my security light will go away that is all.
Also heres my buddys project that ive been working on

Hey, Congratulations on your future son.
Car looks good. When you get a chance, could you show more about the motor mounts and what you had to do to the Kmember and anything else related to getting that LS to fit?
By the way guys....this guy would give the shirt off his back. Sent me some parts just for shipping.
Good dude.
Thanks again

Hey thanks man and yea sure I can snap some pics tomorrow they retain the stock clam shell mounts that are bolted to the kmember. Front brake/steering is completely brand new need to tighten up the bolts and throw the cotter pins in finish cleaning/undercoat the trans tunnel set the front on the ground then move to the rear brakes then onto pulling the interior to cut a hole in the firewall for the hvac box anyways some progress pics
By the way in the third pic in case anyone wants to know what 2.5 tint looks like theres an example will wait to the car on the ground before I sit in it and decide if its to dark for me
