Been a little while since I last posted here; I have been taking care of some other projects for a few days, so I didn't get much "cub time" as you all call it.
A bunch of parts arrived for the cub, so I felt the urge to begin work on that again. Started to put the clutch together tonight, I am going with a red spring to get a little more bite. I found the friction plates to be quite pitted and rough, probably should be replaced but I decided to try to dress them up a little instead. I don't have any fancy expensive equipment, so using the tools I have I came up with a way to resurface the plates. I ran a 5/8 bolt through the center and chucked it up in my drill press. Clamped down some sand paper and away we went; sure glad I got the model with the 5/8 chuck.
Now I know this is not the proper way to do this, and it isn't prefect, but it seemed to work quite well, and lets face it this is not a Lamborghini

I also recieved the decals I ordered, so I put the dash sticker on so I could bolt that down... Now I'm no expert, but it think it looks pretty good.
