End of month would be pushing it. My drag link should be here Friday so I can tighten up the steering but I'm still trying to pinpoint a good time for me to make the 200 mile round trip to get the 5x5 birch in Houston. I'll check one or two slightly closer places tomorrow that I missed on google when I searched before but I'm not hopeful. My local lumber man hasn't gotten me my pieces for the Westy bench seat yet either. Going to have to rapid-cure those in a bathroom with a propane heater. I'm shooting for the Classic.
