Looking good, I started one of these a while ago but have put it away for a while to develop a few skills!! I was actually sitting with Mac talking about this kit last night, a great guy to deal with and always willing to help out.

I will be staying tuned, looking forward to seeing more!

DC says that the cars will aquaplane now, I thought they would aquaplane with traction control too, Traction control isn't going to do a damn thing when a car aquaplanes, aquaplaning is just the nature of the beast, always has been, always will be. DC is turning into a bit of a whiner if you ask me,...

The news today that McLaren must have to wait till February to know the verdict about the new car is a serious setback in their testing programme... my suspicion that they'll not perform in 2008 as they did this year is stronger every day. OK, I know who I want to see in the Mclaren but it won't ha...

I recently stepped up and bought a quality airbrush, I went with the Iwata Hp-C plus and could not be happier, once you use the double action one time you are hooked, it sprays beautifully and I am sure will last me forever. On the air subject I went a different route and purchased a nitrogen bottle...

Sean, no problem, I look forward to it!

Now I live in San Diego, so, if any of you are down this way on vacation, sorry holiday!, drop me a PM and we'll have to meet up for a couple of brews in the...

Johnny

I'm sure this will look great, can't wait to see more. As for the suspension arm it looks like the forward leg of the upper wishbone should go into the rear of the two holes that are close together. I think the forward one is for the steering track rod.

Hope this helps.
