        Good to see you back at it Lee.

        I've heard family & friends speak of the post-covid "fogginess" so just take your time and don't force it. We'll be here for as long as it takes :thumb2:

          Good to see you back at the bench Lee. Take it over step at a time and don't rush your recovery.

            Looks like a good project Lee, just do a bit as you feel up to it, Simon always said he never managed to finish a build for a GB in time!

                      Well I put some more parts back together on the 8 ton last night. I don’t like how the front axle sits to me it too high Click image for larger version

                        Remember the tracks will lift the back up Lee. I’d get them on before adjusting the axle just in case you make the chassis head down in aspect.

                            Actually Lee, that looks about right.........with that heavy flak gun mounted in back they sat low in back and high in front. I have seen lots of pics where this is the case. I'm glad you didn't turn it into a "low rider" :smiling3: Rick H.

                                Lee,
                                I agree with the others. The build looks good.
