I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think the strike will go on for very long. I'm in the same boat as you, though...I can't even get things going until some items that require shipping are sent & received. If the postal strike goes on for more than a month, we can look at extending the deadline.8rad wrote:This postal strike is seriously gonna affect my build for this. I have a boatload of parts I need to order but there is no point if I dont know when they will arrive.
Serious bummer!

Re: Modern Modded Vintage 1/10 Buggy Build-Off
If nobody else has an issue with Mr. ED joining, it's fine by me, too. If anyone objects, a PM would be fine. I probably won't even get to turning wrenches for at least 2 more weeks, at least until Canada Posties get back to work...

Re: Modern Modded Vintage 1/10 Buggy Build-Off
Seems like I'm in then
As soon as I can choose a project and get started you'll find it here.
For now I'm a little set back:

Re: Modern Modded Vintage 1/10 Buggy Build-Off
So where's everyone's build at? I've played around with various startpoints and think it will be an ultima again (been a loooong time since the last actually).

Re: Modern Modded Vintage 1/10 Buggy Build-Off
Mine's gone nowhere since my last post a while ago. Canada Post still hasn't delivered a number of things I'm waiting on, due to the postal strike back-log. There's a couple items I've been waiting for over a month now!
I'm wondering if everyone would be okay with extending the finish date by a month?

Re: Modern Modded Vintage 1/10 Buggy Build-Off
I think I have all purchased parts that I need. Lots of design and fabrication to do now, so no complaints about an extra month for me.
