Tools needed / recommended to install porterbuilt suspension

Hello All
I am going to be putting in a front / rear porterbuilt suspension. (Cannot wait
What tools do you all recommend I have available. I have a friend who will weld for me. I am talking about drills, saws, crutters, grinders. Thanks for the info in advance. I am going with the mild rear with the touring front.

Re: Tools needed / recommended to install porterbuilt suspension

High quality air hammer/chisel for popping rivets (cheap ones will take longer to bust them off).
Quality drill bits (multiples of the 1/2" size).
Angle grinder w/a cut off wheel & various 36 + 60 grit sanding discs.
Tape measure.
Level/s.

Another good thing to have around are misc pcs of angle steel to help align/square/clamp things (ex: R&P notches) in place. I used 1.5x1.5 3/16 steel.....

And most important.... If someone like me is helping, cold frothy beverages will be required for the most accurate results .

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
