Update: Things are moving along. Some of our guys are in Detroit for training on the mandrel bending machine this week. We anticipate the dies being shipped sometime early next week so we'll have them in hand within a week and a half or so. Once we have the dies, then BLM will be sending a tech out to get our bender up and running so we can start bending some pipes.
Also, our casting company assures us that they are on schedule.
As for the other thread on the initial test car, we have that on our "to do" list and will be releasing that as soon as Sam and I have some time to focus on it.
