update
Things got backloged due to work schedule and the fact that Zukmam had a heart attack somewhere along the way.

Icarus is now in the garage new rear axle is in and being fitted, need to move it back 1".
Today we pick up the new wheels for the yellow labels, will post some pics of progress in next day or so.
