Ok, now that I've painted all my Mountee frame, suspension, and drive-train, I'm ready to put it back together. I must say that replacing the bronze bushings on the rear axle took a little thought. You must press the pins out of each end without bending the axle, then press them back in after sliding the new bearings onto the axle. Other than that, everything went smooth. I should have done this years ago!!!

Looking good, it is just begging for my patented Sharpie marker shut lines and details application. See here [Click here]

Thanx! Yeah, Crash, I would love to add those Sharpie lines, but I get a little shaky and fear that I'll make a mess of things. Ain't got those steady hands I used to have when I build static models

Alright, if you won't do it, I shall bring them up there with me and we will get this one done.
