More stuff going on, Axels have been rebuilt and painted along with the frame. New brakes and hubs put on. New dobinson leaf springs and new undercoating done. I had to put the body back on. I have to use the same body mounts because the new ones that I bought from cruiser corps were not even close to the same body mounts. Old ones will work just fine.
