Life got in the way slowing the progress on this build. My computer stopped working months ago, so today I finally broke down and purchased a new laptop. Now I can post pictures again.

The building my friend had his machine shop in caught fire, but luckily he didn't loose anything. He did have to move all his things into storage, which took us months to do.

With no access to his machine shop I ended up purchasing a mill. My recoil drum is in bad shape so I decided to carve a new one out of 6061 aluminum. It should be much stronger now.

I bolted a piece of uhmw to the bottom of the fender so the track couldn't scratch the paint and cause a rust spot.
