Thanks very much. Yes, you need to have a little of both to build these kind of things. Hopefully I can keep the build interesting!

I would say you know that better than anyone else Steve! Even with stamping the centers this isn't a quick job. Especially when you factor in making hubs for all three axles. It took me 3 1/2 days to make the wheel assemblies for the first HD. I thought I could do it faster this time but it is going to be about the same. I guess one guy can only make parts so fast when each part requires several different setups and processes. Hopefully it looks ok in the end and then it will all be worth while.
