It looks good Dale. I see you went with the SD-7/9 sideframes. I haven't had
time to do mine yet, but I think I'm going to use the original sideframes
and just enlarge the mounting holes on the 7/9 brake rigging casting and
remove what's not needed on the sideframe. How does the plastic react with
glue for changing the journal boxes? And how did you mount your sideframes?
