I thought they had all been destroy, until my son walked in today with a plastic case with one of them inside. He had cleaned the case before bringing it to me. GUESS WHAT WAS INSIDE!!

I'm really sorry to hear about tragedy. It's hard to find the good in a situation like that but I'm glad to see you we're able to salvage something out of it. It's a cool little project and held up nicely. I'll be keeping my eye on this for some progress. Good luck with everything.

I will Have to Build a New Frame and Front Suspension for it! When I Tried to Block it up on a Grid To Make sure I Got The front wheels straight With The New Tyerod, I Found out The Resin Frome was Baddly Warped, and so Was the Front Axle. and Tryes. The Front Axle also had a Lot of Cracks In It!

I will Have to Build A New Chassis and Front Suspension For it, But I will Finish This Build!
