I learned a new trick:
Solder in the bearings as soon as it comes out of the tumbler.
That way I only have to wash it ONCE

Very nice.
Brass always looks fantastic.
Are you going to tie the rear side 'pans' together to stop the hinge pins from disengaging with the centre section?
It looks like it is only held together at the axle tube.
:huh:

Thanks for asking, Steve

This pic shows the rod that ties the back end of the body rails together. It snakes under the bracket, and bends up at 90 degrees to connect with the ISO hinge wires.
On a "normal" chassis where the main rails are at "ground zero", this would not be possible.
Since my main rails are elevated, it allows this.
Can you see it, Steve ?

No problemo, Steve, it is confusing, nobody knows that better that me. :dash2:

To my knowledge, no one has ever built a floppy plumber ISO with vertical rails.
So it is virgin territory.

Thanks to a little help from my friends, I removed the original "Mura" sticker from the can, then re-applied it to the finished can using double sided wing body tape. It was a little worn and wrinkled before, and it is the same now.
