Re: Glock's official "Project 68" build thread

Thanks Larry! Unfortunately, I blew that though outta the water Monday night. The ball mill arrived and I set the door up in the mill to cut the grooves. Not sure what happened, but after about cutting 6"-7" of a PERFECT groove, the cutter suddenly pulled itself in real deep then broke! So that door is officially jacked up!

Luckily, I bought enough material to cut out another door. So for now, I will cut out another one and polish it, then just attach the emblem. Maybe down the road I can have a machine shop try to cut them. Or I'll just leave it alone!

To add insult to injury...... UPS delivered the buffing kit I ordered from Eastwood on Tuesday, the day after I screwed it up!

Progress will probably be slowed down for a little while now. Snowmobiling season is coming up, and I need to get the sleds ready. I need to put the new motor in Mama's machine, and I am building a sled to pull behind mine. It will be used to haul the gas cans and the tubs with food and clothes to the cabin each time we go up.

Playing in the snow is the ONE thing that can easily prevent me from working on the truck! Nothing like having 5'-6' of air underneath ya!
