ANOTHER FANTASTIC UPDATE FROM KPM.
Here is his email.
hi claude
keep plugging away everyday...today had the whole crew working!!
..it's not hard to put mega hours in when doing a rebuild on a bombardier...gotta luv it!!!
....some people question the cost of these machines(when done right)..it's easy to sink the money into them,then factor in your time..lol..you better have a passion for i!!
Gary keeps it all in perspective,which makes the job go smooth...like i've said before he's the wizard...had dashes made up by D.PAULSON of WADENA STEEL...the man does an excellant job...course you can see that by looking at the awesome job he has done on his wide gauge rebuild....hoping to drive this narrow at the rally!!!
take care my friend
