News from the front lines

 In an age of being in constant communication, and being what could be considered a bit of a control freak or micro manager, it has a been a huge test of patience to have Fillmore out of my hands and into someone else's control. The good news is that the springs are all done, the king pins were next but they too came with their own issues. The pin on one side were too far gone and needed to be replaced, the corresponding pin was OK but I figured get them both done and then be done with it. The issue was there was no readily available replacements, so we had new ones machined. The pins showed up today!
 So I popped by the shop and had a peak during a lunch break, the front end was all apart just waiting.

 The U bolts obviously had to be replaced, I didn't get to talk with Don today but I will get the skinny on that next week
 While I was there, I got a peak at the new springs in the back.
New springs, new hangers, new pins, new bushings...Looking sharp!!
