Appreciate that Rich....and I haven't forgotten you are only a short drive away - so look out!
My tracks appear to be OK (not great) and operate fine therefore (fingers crossed) so far, so good..

I hate to ask what about the other side?
It is a pain to get the springs replace on the pulls. I had a tough time replacing the springs for the pulls. Plus the stops can be fun to work with.

Great writeup!
Actually, solid axle drivers need only two seat positions:
1- all the way forward: The altitude challenged people (Frank, Plasticman)
2-all the way back: Everybody else, aka normal people.
It's when cars get driven by other people is when you need the smooth working tracks. All too often it takes significant leverage to make it happen. I didn't even know there were rollers in there. Looks like a great project.

Don't consider 5'10" to be altitude challenged. And my seat is all the way to the rear............
In fact, I thought you were shorter than me.

Can't get to work.
I wanted to add this to my collection of "How-Tos" but the link comes up with a blank page. Could you post the address again?
Thanks,
JP

I'll try at home.
Rich,
Neither link is working for me. Maybe my work connection is flakey, I'll try at home.
I'm looking forward to seeing your write-up and thanks for sharing it with all of us.
