Is the shoe in the pic for figuring out foot room or because a hot bb of slag went in there and you danced around? _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

The brakes are completely installed and bled. Also installed a proportioning valve and residual pressure valves to accommodate the low master cylinder placement.
Welded in more replacement metal and more "tubing to cab" connections, many more still needed
Reinstalled the cab (for now), chased all the bolt holes with a tap and bolted the cab in place
The temporary cab cross bracing is ready to come out. Next, the steering column install

Cool progress.
Oh cool, he gave us the playlist of songs he is listening to while he is welding and working on this. I wonder if it's heavy metal?
That wasn't it... me dumb |
