Partly because I picked up a stainless steel rolling rack - actually originally for food trays - free to a good home. Got the wheels rolling again and it now holds almost every part I have remaining to put on.

BUT

Mostly because I got my throttle linkage hooked up. You may recall I was having troubles with a couple broken unobtanium brackets. Had a friend from the club get me the part I needed - from a 50's vintage Austin I think - AND the lower bracket came from my meccano set. I am insanely proud of this since not only did meccano get me started taking things apart and putting them back together but I actually think every LBC might need a meccano piece somewhere.

Hurray! :banana: :cheers:
 
Heh.....I have 4 stainless steel tables with wheels. They're all I have left from a failed restaurant venture. If I did the math right, it comes out to about $10000 per table! What a bargain. :smile:

Sometimes I think about how nice my Bugeye would be today if I spent the $40K on her instead of a sub sandwich shop.
 
Congrats JP!

Glad you got the linkage gremlins exercised!!!
