I still need to solder motor and battery connectors but, otherwise, the car is finished. P1010085.JPG P1010088.JPG P1010091.JPG P1010092.JPG P1010094.JPG The front body clip is mounted to the shock tower with a small lexan "L" . P1010095.JPG For me, each build seems to get a little better....

Although mine were made so...

Sweet!
