I know it John, lol I shortened it earlier and added the first coat of paint. The body showed up so I'll be doing body work later tonight as well as installing the driveshaft and exhaust!

I hope you're right Ice lol. Now the chassis is finished. Sometimes I'm surprised at the most obvious things I forget. IMG_20141106_211958 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr As you can see I just finished it as there is still some wet paint where I touched up lol. I also got the body and shaved it all and sprayed a light mist of primer. IMG_20141106_211455 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr There's some ghosting, but a light sand tomorrow should take care of that then more paint! Thanks for looking and all the encouragement through this build fellas!

I think so too John! Here's a sneak peek at the finished body, tomorrow evening I will get it all buttoned up! IMG_20141109_220552 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr Thanks to all for the great comments and following along. I wish I would've finished in time with the rest of the great builds.

That's one of those things if you don't tell nobody will know. Lol, you're right there. I messed with those little plugs you sent me last night and man are they hard to see.

Jesse the plugs are small but they are in scale. I have machined 1/14 plugs from RB Motion and they are the same size as the ones I sent you but they cost so damn much I don't want to use them.If you notice one end of those plugs is slightly longer from center than the other end. I put the short end in the engine and leave the longer end out for the boot. Drill your engine hole small enough so the middle of the plug stops snug at the hole. I dropped a few in the engine before I got it right.
