mocked up front wheel not in right place just there for reference, some track section on her to see what see will look like, we are now making the front wheel mounts and bases. There is a light at the end of the tunnel , we are coming down the home stretch now. Cant wait to see here finished and in the museum. We have been receiving all kinds of original small equipment for her, we just got an original dash, which we will be redoing for the tank and installing after the review , we will use our reproduction for now until we go through the original to functional status.

Thank you, we could be much faster if the money wasn't so hard to raise, to fund the cost of this project, but we deal with it as we go. Museums don't have deep pockets. The reveal is coming in November and must be done by October some time so now we are under the gun so to speak. Wish us luck. Thank you for following the build.
