Thanks again for the great comments! Hats off again to Jake for making many of the parts! 8) I had the time today to finish up the tie rods, cvd's, trans and motor plate, and battery set-up. Only a couple more items in mind to top it off. Can't decide if I like the ano'd wheel nuts or the SS plain style. Here are a few shots of todays progress:

Very nice work on this one. I forgot to do the wing tubes though. They will be coming with the next rounds of stuff :mrgreen: .

Who did the milling work on your tube and nose plate? I know I didn't do those.

Jamie did the milling on the chassis and nose. Looks like the purple car he has. Oh yeah, wingtubes! :lol: I do think I'll leave this car 'body-less' in the meantime. Thanks again for the comments, this has truly been an outlet for my OCD tendencies. :mrgreen:
