18490 progress

[redeyedancer]

So this is were I am at: a little behind

Some of you have asked for updates. All the brass reservoirs are ready, 510 connections pressed in. Door stock milled and most of it is cut to size. springs drilled and cut. wires are cut, striped and ready for solder. tubing caps cut to size.

I will be a couple weeks behind when all is said in done. most of you are aware I was alone for the past 4 or 5 weeks. I have been putting in long days to catch up. one of the reasons I haven't been on the forum as much.

All the mods in the pics - 3 of them will be available to the public.

Hearts may race and blood pressures spike viewing these photos!

Wow, Rob! They look incredible!!! How in the world am I supposed to choose just 19 of them?!!?

Pull up a chair. You have so earned it!

 

[Lori68]

Oh wow Rob those are gorgeous! You are going to make a lot of people happy

Don't forget to take a well deserved break for yourself. I don't even know what kind of hours you put into the reo empire, but I can sort of imagine it takes up about 23 hours of your day most times.
