Are you seeing some pics upside down? While uploadimg i noticed some were flipped but when posting everything was ok. Of so i upload new ones and adjust it here.. A couple of close ups. Reworked the weldings and when painted the missing rack will come out nice ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i60.tinypic.com/zkisle.jpg) Got some 'welding' to do ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i58.tinypic.com/15f11c4.jpg)

Yes, for me, the 1st and 4th photos in your previous post are showing upside down...hence the gravity-defying comment. These last two are right side up and look good! Nice touch with the weld marks for the missing rack.
