I grabbed a few photos this morning but they're on my camera not my phone. It will be a while before I can dump the photos and post them here.

The CRF is a seriously impressive facility. Nearly as impressive as the work of the Friends are doing there.

The photos of Roy and Wayne welding on the trucks is because the plans had the crossmember 1 1/2" too long. Roy and Wayne had to cut all that steel and narrow it down 3/4" of both sides and weld it back together. For most of us that would have been a road block, but Roy and Wayne sure know how to weld.

Those stock car doors are for the car already painted RGS colors, and will help the car look more authentic in a charter.
