Thank you. Hopefully I can get all the small details for it worked out.


Anyway. I just finished the front axle. It didn't come out too bad considering I used hand files it has no holes for mounting or spindles yet I want to make the spindles first so I can get a good fit.










I'm just making random parts as I design them. The spindles should be next I just need to buy a few more things for the lathe to get it up and running.

No updates for quite a while. But I finally have some more progress to show, just some more random parts. I got my lathe running and turned some wheel blanks for the front.

Also a 3d printer has been added to my tool collection and I love it, the amount of detail that is achievable is amazing. I was able to model the radiator with the cast "LINN" logos on the support frame and the upper radiator also bolts, the radiator cap, and even the holes for the wire bale that hold the cap down
















I'm going to model and print the engine next I'm planing to put a small motor in it so the radiator fan spins
