As an update, for the month of August I have been test driving the "shorts" format. Trying to upload one of those a day. Forcing me to get out in the garage and try to nudge the build along as opposed to waiting until I have time to do full length content. I so far have only missed one day this month, but appear to be on pace to hit 30/31 days. But I have progressed the build since. Last three days are of me test fitting the C4 Salad shooter wheels on the thing. See what you think!
In a way it's good to see some one struggle through and learning. In another way it's not good to see potential losing a body part or getting a spring in your chest.... Not fun.
Couple things... Give yourself room. Raise the car.
Use proper tools. A framing, ripping or claw hammer is not an automotive tool.
Cover your stuff. Blankets, old bath towels and fender covers...
There are spring clips you put on the coils that limit travel in tight spaces like you have. ... Couldn't find the ones I was thinking of, but attached pic of something similar that would work.
There are already too many on you tube that can't name a part, explain how it works, or do it correctly. Don't be one of them. Be a step above.
BTW car looks great, like watching the progress.

I can appreciate someone who knows the proper use of the word "too"! Thanks for watching.
Finally got the car on the ground post lowering springs, with the salad shooters on.
