thanks for all of the support guys!

sad to say though the bug has been squished.

my 3yr. old son got ahold of the body after i cut the doors out, needless to say i dosent resemble a bug anymore.

if i can get ahold of a tamiya bug kit ill start over on this one.

Oh my .. a 3 year old with a "doors cut body" ..!!!! I don't think I'd trust my son at 30 now with one! I sure looks good after the surgery. though!

Another trick you can do Jim is raise the rear fenders and the rear frame horn up 3-6" scale inches. this will in effect lower the rear of the car without splaying the rear tires thus lowering the center of gravity too.. you can then build a wing/box over the engine.

Also if you leave it as a pan car make sure you tie the roll cage into the rear horns...

Your doing great Jim. I love it...
