Hi Derek,
That is now lookin' really well. :great  :respect
I couldn't visualize how it went together before, but now all in the bright light :sunglasses
Will be a show stopper when its finished.
But one suggestion, get rid of the brass drive shaft and go with a stainless one, a lot more rigid and less prone to damage, plus the contrast will look great.

Bandit, Vinnie and the lowly John
