Wonderful to see your hard work Vlad... I don't think I have seen such a complete tear down before.

Well, it's time to make update here.
The project is constantly in work.
It was the time to attach chassis parts to the frame.
I assembled front springs of leaves, got them into position and put I-beam.

[Slava]

Attached the steering knuckles. Had to grind the king pins over for about 0.4 mm
and ordered new bushings to fabricate of brass. Next arranged "elephant ear" bogie brackets and turned the frame from its back to normal position.

[Slava]

Moved the bogie under the chassis and took it into the place.

I followed over the front axle, assembled brakes and put the hubs on.
