Looking Great!!!
I love seeing all of the in-process pictures of the fabrication. It sure is nice to see all of the hard work paying off when it all goes together.

I'm looking forward to the next posts!

Here are some pictures that Jim just sent showing some of the process he is making assembling the parts that have been made to date. Notice the nice work making the welded items appear to be cast.

Will, what species of wood was (original) and is (this build) is being used for the project?

I know Morgan used ash for body framing components in manufacture and am curious about other Marques.

Cliff, Jim stated that he uses mostly ash, because he has a lot of it on his farm.
