Great job on the build! Well done.
Looks like all that is missing is the front jounce bumpers and a tailpipe. I used a short section of tailpipe with a downturn. Fits over the stock exhaust and exits at bumper.
I have not tried burning out bushings. I drill a few holes through rubber, sleeve falls out, then the metal can falls out after bending it inwards with a punch. Works especially well on front axle bushings where fire may not be an option.

Burning out the bushings worked alright, I still had to punch it out as it was melting. I used a ball joint press to get the upper control arm bushings out of the axle.
