Very cool project that we'll enjoy watching as well. thanks Dan for the freebies for your Dad! I'm sure you are just being reimbursed for Dad slave labor which you freely give being the generous guy that you are Don. I think it's great that you all support eachother so well. I was surprised you mentioned powder coating after your recent ordeals, but think again it will be a great choice. I'm going to look into doing the brake drums in gloss black, once I get the motor in and running.
