Nothing interesting to show, just bending up some hydraulic tubing:

Woo hoo! Progress!!

Damn. I only had two tubes on my project. And that was enough for me. The rest was hose. Yours looks great. Can't wait to see you start on the tracks.

Tracks will be the last item that i built for this...

And some more tubing:

Wow:Wow1:Steinez, so cool to see you back on this project...:wings:

Was a bit slow because i bought a new shaper that needed some attention:

Bought a turret head for my lathe yesterday and could already use it today turning some coolant bulkhead fittings :

Turned one side:

Drilled and put some threads on it:

First side finished:

Machined the second side of the fitting today:

Also made some nuts for them:

And mounted them:

There was no way i could motivate myself to bend up some more hydraulic tubing today, so i started another really simple part that will be completely overbuild and way to time consuming. But hey, it`s fun...

Cut a chunk of stainless. Notice the appropriate device to increase cutting pressure:

Milled the saw cut down:

And started machining it on the shaper:

Such is good machining....:wings:

Started cutting some serrations today:

Made a mount for it:

Tacked in place:

Decided to start over with the wiring. This is how it looked:

And how it`s looking now:

Decided to throw out everything except of the engine wiring. Going to make a custom harness for the front car.:

Also going to build a really nice dash for it...

Impresive skills as usual.

 

[VanIsle_Greg]

Good stuff as always.

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Thanks guys.

Here`s the finished engine wiring. I`m at less than 10 wires between the front and rear car now:

This is going in the trash:

Anyone got a good idea on how to mount the combination switch so it`s good to reach and doesn`t look out of place?
