    Thats rough, I'm kinda in the same boat tool wise right now. I spent the better part of the day yesterday grinding and wire wheeling the cam tab mounts and my spindles for gussets. Mostly because my battery grinder only lasts 5 minutes a charge. Definitely saving up for new tools soon as the mods get bigger.

    Will an 03-04 auto work in an 01? I know it’ll bolt up but I also know there was some changes to the electronics or something

    hm, I'm not aware of any changes on the transmission side of things. I don't think you have anything to worry about but maybe someone will know something more detailed.

    Valve body is different due to the lack of a kickdown cable.

    Looks familiar. While you're in there, might want to run a hose into the inside of the frame. I was surprised at how much crap came out just by rinsing. Took a while too.

    Harbor freight has an assorted wire wheel kit that works pretty well for reeming out the control arm holes. They work great in a drill. Shipping is usually pretty cheap from them since I doubt you have one around.

    I saw those today actually, but I got them fairly clean with some sand paper I found in the house.
