Thanks Clint. I'll probably have the front axle installed tomorrow (with the steering and brake linkages, and the tie rod)..Of course, I will be posting pictures.

Thank you Clint, Dicky, and Bones. I had not thought of the Archer transfers. I'll look into it. Thank you very much.

I'm going to get some of the Archer louvers next week. The worst thing that can happen is they are too small. Thanks again for the suggestion Bones.

Bruce
If size is the problem ask Archer about the problem he has in the past made special runs if there was any chance to sell more of the item.
Also there are a couple or more of serious master makers on this site that may be willing to make a single louvered panel which could be turned over if it had no hinges and used on both sides with your own scratch hinges.

Hey there gang. There has been some pretty good progress on the front end of the beast. The steering linkage and tie rod are now installed. I am still running a few of the brake linkages (3 to go). It looks like the engine will be permanently installed in a day or two. Thanks again for the help and support.   |

It is still looking very nice and spot on for the front end.
