It's been a while since I've posted updates as it has been slow going, or it's just been small things.
I am starting to hit critical mass here though, and hope to have some major progress in the next couple months...

I relined with a local company here that MVRS uses. They were not cheap though! (nothing is)

This went together much easier than getting them apart.

Starting to hit critical mass now. Just picked up a buncha parts.  I'm told my motor will be finished next month too, and I dropped off 16 bogies with Rich to get the urethane treatment. Hopefully it will be sitting on wheels/tracks soon!

I had to go to urgent care the other night. Ear infection, bronchitis, and a case of the crabs (just kidding). If you fellas ever want to get something done, next cold ask for a shot of steroids in the ass along with a prescription of Prednisone. Not only did I did this stuff done, but I worked on my WLA engine, reroofed and painted the house. IN THE RAIN!! Just kidding. No I'm not.... Wait? maybe....

Man you were really going at it....I even see primer on the big socket in the first picture. Good work!

PS. Internal parts for the drag link should not be painted.

No photos tonight, but I have all of the rear suspension arms blasted and ready for primer and paint. 4 hubs are blasted and ready for primer/paint. 4 more hubs are prepped for blasting, and the upper rollers are prepped for blasting as well.  Busy day lots done!
