A Chevy rim painted Ford blue under a Ford? Bound to cause trouble at some point

So far everything has been coming up roses. Spring perches spot on and about 1" space at slip yoke with full weight on springs. I can now reinstall the brake lines I pre-bent and a friend is due to help with the bleeding. Wife due home in an hour and don't think she's up to it after an 8+ hour day.....
