 Hey, everyone!, this is my second build thats being actively worked on now. This is the kit that got me to marry my wife. I couldnt find one, but she did, and drove 6 hours to pick it up for me, and also came back with 14 other kits...she's a keeper! She also builds from time to time. Anyway, a long time ago i failed with this kit, so i needed another one so that i could beat it -so far i am. Lets get you quickly caught up to where it is now...

Forgot to tell you where i got the tires from...a Tamiya Ferrari F40. This next section shows how i make adjustable ride height, and to make sure all four tires meet the pavement. The spindles slide up and down, and when you get it where you want it, glue the buggers in place.

All caught up on this one now!
