Got behind on updating the build.
More and more of the old stripped off and new primer and epoxy going on. Got the jambs blocked and primed. Quarters and fenders also see more primer

Free storage as long as I get donated community hours. I may also talk you into driving 4 hrs to meet a random dude and grab me some wheels. @bird_dog0347

There is an orange that has been picking at my brain for more than a year now.

When you get a chance, do a bonfire with some dry white oak. When it burns down to coals, [that] is the orange I'm talking about.
