Rob Peters Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Joe, that looks great. It doesn't look like there was any pitting in the frame. That is a great start and everything you add will be a show of progress. This is an exciting time in a rebuild to see everything so clean and new. Don''t guess we will see it at Carlisle but look forward to seeing the progress pictures. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
