Continuing on: Set to pick up the rear banjo tomorrow or Thursday. Then for a weekend of throwing together the front end, cut out preliminary notches, line up the radius rods, tack weld heim joints to the rods, etc. For those watching, the side pads on the tube are 1/4 in steel. They used to be one of the mounts for a handle for this beast.
I cut off the excess and we'll use it as a mount for a 1/4 in steel plate... for the radius rods to mount on... etc.
In the meantime, an honest to golly stencil, cut out by hand and rattle canned on whilst having a beer after work.
Now she has a name.
