SHOP UPDATE: Susi's rod

 Painted a bunch more small parts for Jim's 36 and Susi's rod.

 I had a little last minute idea. I wanted a little more support for the K member in the center. I made this support for the top of the K. It should add more strength and have less chance of flex in the middle.

 Here it is painted an installed

 the cab is finally installed for the last time. I will start all the final assembly processes in the evenings and hope to hear it run soon.

 Starting to assemble the Y block 312

Just a shot of the bottom. It looks nice and clean with just a touch of jewelry.
