The next few weeks in September are precious, and the 765 will be coming home to rest her drivers at the end of the month. But before that, we have some work to finish up. Jerrad is making great progress on the primer and should be wrapping that up in the next week or so. That leaves the following items to tackle before heading out for those tailored stripes.

- Traction Motor Brush holders – skilled help needed
