Well.. my better K7a just took on a bit more weight.
The idea came to me about 10:00 last night. The idea of lead cows was good so I made 1. Except it does not look much like a cow, and a bit more like a tire weight. Between the centersill beams was a very pitiful attempt at weight. It was actually just a few strands of solder. So I hogged that solder out and kept going by cutting a slot on the floor with only minimal bruising to visible areas of the car. I beat and pressed the new weight in my milling machine vise to make it slightly thinner. My car is now 3 ½ ounces to the better. I would have had the car done but 2 of my doggies had X rays this afternoon for eating things they should not have. All is fine but it took up almost 2 hours today.. More on this car later with photos of the good parts .
