My 956 got a big brother.

Been wanting one for decades, but they never come up..so I will build one from scratch..yes the chassis will look just like the original red unit..stay tuned!

Yesterday technically. I was staring at the Avante while we were watching Part IV in the bar. Thought the lighting was good for the paint job. Not my car. Back shocks could use some thicker oil.

OK, I'll bite. 8) I'm very much looking forward to this coming weekend. I have 2 nephews, 7 & 9. I have 2qty of everything shown in the photo below. There comes a time in every young mans life where they need to connect the battery leads to the motor and let the learning begin. :D It doesn't mat...
