Hello again everybody, While I was waiting for some glue to dry on the hinge plates, I started playing with the fuel tank. After about an hour and a half this is what I ended up with.   The fuel tank started life as pair of quarter coin storage tubes trimmed to the right size and glued together. I'm hoping to have more to show soon. Thanks for looking in. |

Too bad you had to spend all those quarters to get what you needed Bruce! Nice use of 'found' materials to make life easier. |

Thanks guys.
Bill, I didn't have to spent the quarters, we had the tubes at the shop. They just happened to be the right diameter, so I used them. I do like the results.

Hello everybody. I have had a bit of bench time, so I got a start on the hinges for the outer engine covers.  I also pretty much finished the Glacis plate.  I'm hoping to have more done on her in the next few days. Thanks again for looking in. |

Hello everybody. I finally got some bench time in. I started the hinges for the outer engine covers.  I also managed to get a start on the actual outer engine covers.  Finally, I got the mufflers basically finished.  I'm hoping to get to the engine deck later this week, as well as a few other small bits. Thanks again for looking in. |

Hello Everybody. I finally managed to get a little more bench time in. I got the towing shackles done.  I got a pretty good start on the engine deck.  Finally, I decided I should get started on the actual suspension parts, so I started in on the idler.  By the way, I totally take back all of the times I said I would never use geometry when I was in high school. Thanks again for looking in. |
