  16. 20210408 - Zoomed-in view. I'm still kind of pissed that the bottom hole drill bit grabbed the hole when trying to taper it down. I know it will...

  18. 20210408 - Beginning to tighten down these hex bolts. I'll add blue thread locker when I to final assembly. *TIP: Do not over tighten them. They...

  20. 20210408 - Our (Feral) shop cat. His name is Smokey and joined our pack of misfits. Some people have a guard dog, he's ours!

  21. 20210408 - Smokey keeping watch! Good kitty!

  23. 20210326 - I ground down the stainless bolts that were protruding past the Russ Thompson steering puck. *NOTE: They have to be flush or it will...

  24. 20210326 - Damn! The bolt has to come back out and get ground down some more. It was hanging up on the steering hub.
