Painted parts
My parts are finally coming back from the paint shop.This took longer than I expected, but they did a beautiful job.

Making grousers
I have already cut the cleats out of hard maple ( 3/4 x 1-1/2 x 12 inches long) I had enough material for 60. A couple extra for repairs if needed.

Re: Next 444 Project
Fabulous restoration. I can only imagine how many hours you had on 2 machines. Your detailed pictures have been helping me on my 444.

Lace pins
I am making a new set of tracks and have all the parts needed except the lace pins.What kind and size of material was used for that? Could possibly reuse my old ones, but they are in pretty rough shape. Thanks Randy.
