Looks great Derek, good job. I can't wait to get started on another project. My wife and I just bought a house two months ago and though I didn't get my garage, (plan on building one next year),the house does have a good size 21'x12' work room. I have so many house related projects on the go I haven't had the time yet to start anything new. My T-34 is getting new springs to stiffen up the suspension. With almost an acre of lawn and woods there will be plenty of room for testing. Now will it be a halftrack or an SU-152. hmmm Greg (T061)
