Real nice work Glenn. I bet you can't wait to flip her over. Don't be in too much of a hurry as once it it right-side-up, you will be sanding again !!! Your patience certainly has paid off.....She looks great...... Take care,,,,Neel

Man, if I was working on the east coast I would be coming around to visit you and Tim for sure! I tried to contact the west coast builders but no luck! Well I reckon you and Tim are a fair way apart too.... lol
you forget the states out west are farther apart :lol: where you are at you would be closer to Dave Lott and the Missouri bunch than us in the mountain states and the west coast. I think I have maybe 2 builders with in a 400 mile range from me.

The stress is over!!!!
Gentry has flipped. She was trussed up tighter than a Thanks Giving Turkey. Possibly the first Bobcat flip on Glen-L. It can lift 900Kg in the bucket so could lift Gentry in total if needed, however we only used her to roll it over. The stressful times were as she went over the balance point going vertical then down again but no creaks or cracks, no sudden moves and all went well. Thanks in part to Bruce's skillful driving. The cradle worked out well and she is safely tucked away for the night.

WOW !!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: Great work! Looks a lil warmer than Wyoming! Good build weather to boot! What a way to start the new year! Let the fun begin! I imagine this is the point at which it begins to slow down again but progress will soon be evident once again! Great build cradle and flip cradle as well!

Great work, Track. The outstanding paint work looked nice 'n' shiny as she rolled over. Love the maron clour on the bottom. Looking forward, as always, to seeing the upside progress as your great journey continues.

Graham.

P.S. Did you get my PM?
