A little more progress, the back axle, bearings and wheel hubs.

And a little more progress, the front axle and suspension.

Hi Brian it looks like you are progressing well but when I wanted to look back at your progress I had to search for your posts as they are all posted separately and not attached to first post. Sorry if I am wrong but sometimes I like to just wind back to earlier posts.

Hello David, I see what you mean. I'll try to fix it, unless it needs a moderator.

Made a little more progress, this time with the wheels, two of which are finished and the other two (on the far side) just started.

Making spoke, nipples, hubs and rims has been tedious, there are 160 spoke and 160 nipples! The rims are 7" inches in diameter.
