@Beardzilla82 @sogncab @TheBlackSheep and I all went on the Ol 100 mine tour in silverton. Super neat.

We are now almost exactly 6 months out from ordering at FROR. Hoping my shipping number will come up soon so I can get the rear axle finished.

In other news, I about have the new shop finished. Sprayfoam is happening now, and then I get to play sparky.
It's been a lot of long nights and way more money that I'd like, but my dad and I should finally have a nice place to work on projects, and all my tools can finally be in a nice home. I hate seeing them sit.

Hoping so! It's been nice to have a place to kind of work. I currently have the brake in there and running to get a few small projects done, but I can't wait to have everything moved in.

The passenger side was much crustier, so I ended up splitting the inner and outer fender skin.

I also got started on @Beardzilla82's minitruck front bumper.
He wanted an 8274 as well, so it took some figuring and several model updates. His current bumper leaves some to be desired so here we go.

I've got some more stuff planned for the 40, just needing some time to get the shop done.

More monekying around on the minitruck for me.
Got it into the shop today and unwelded off the old bumper.
It's got a big doofy grin now
And started mocking up the new bumper.
I need to go steal an 8274 from a friend for mockup, but I like the way it looks. I also need to bend up some tube for it as well.
I got light brackets and wire tabs in as well, and got the little bits finished up.
I'm going to pay my dues scraping bb's, cause I ran out of antispatter about 3 welds in on this one.

I realized I didn't have a key ring holder for the wall, and way too many keys. Naturally, I designed one.
It's roughly 5 3/8 x 5 3/8.
I'm planning on lasering it out for fidelity, probably going to run a 6061 .062 sheet stock. Given that I'm lasering them out, is anyone else interested in one? I can stick the bend in and mail them pretty easily. Not sure on unit price, but I'll bet it will be under $35 and the price will only go down with volume.
