Damn good thing that is too far away for me to get it......:D

My new Mark V that I got off Ebay is sitting completely apart and the rebuild is coming along nicely. I have to take all of the body parts (painted stuff) to the dry stripper at some point maybe this week. I am going a little farther on this one than I did for my Mark VII. This one was also in much worse shape than my Mark VII. The casters were a nightmare, but after some serious cleaning and polishing they now shine like new and work as such. I found one of those expanding freeze plugs and chucked up the way tubes and bench tubes in my Mark VII and they now look sweet. The bench tubes had one spot each that had some pretty deep pitting so there was no fixing that problem but I was able to rid them of all rust and they now shine beautifully. Once I get the painted parts blasted of their old green paint they will be primed and painted hammered black and silver Rustoleum. I didn't care for the green color on mine and being as this is not an historical rebuild I am painting them colors I like.
