Dave.........

I have no idea how to put a video up here.  The file sizes get so big so quick.

Good to see updates Bob.  I am so very impressed by your skill sir.

As far as posting a video, you first make the vid then post it to you tube.  Then you just put in a link to the vid.
At least that's the way I would do it.  That way, you ain't trying to get it to fit here.

So I got some serious time on the Falk today...

I am moving closer to putting in the electric pick up wipers to the back side of the tires and the rear pair will be half hidden in the fire box.  So I decided that I should build that first.

Below are two shots of the fire box.  It is made of .010" brass sheet stock and cut and fitted.  I had a minor collision with the brake rigging so there was some quick peddling backwards but it ended up fitting.

The Ledbetters use whats layin' around and get a little carried away when their creative
juices kick in! 
You just don't wanna stand in front of that thang!!
