Labor Day weekend, Kate and her family came up for a work party. Brand new tire on a freshly painted rim. It's complete with a hand painted pin stripe.
Mike and Brett are explaining some of the parts to Kate.
Kate is trying her hand at painting a pin stripe on a wheel. I hope she doesn't mess it up!
Ready? One, two, three, lift! We are lifting the body off the wood dolly so we can put it on the Jeep frame.
Ok. let's wiggle it a little to get the shifters up through the holes.
Let's check the alignment of all the mounting holes so we know it is in the right place.
The peanut gallery is admiring how nice the body and frame look together.
It wouldn't be "Kate's Karriage" without a few carriage bolts. Ethan uses the gravel to hold them for a final coat of paint.
Leah is helping by putting the spare tire on the mount. She is happy because she figured out how to use a rachet.
Ethan is busy bolting in the covers for the transmission and PTO shifter.
Silly Kate! You can't test drive it until the steering wheel is installed!
Leah is diligently cleaning up some small parts for us to install. Good job Leah!
