Thanks, Jim!

That would be great!

I launched it pretty soft ( really soft... Like there was an egg under my foot). The lady in the Tower said 'are you the driver?' I reckon I was thinking 'probably more like the Astronaut!'

But it did 60' straighter than I expected so that's at least a good baseline.

With the 4 x 4 suspension it's got a fair amount of travel, the "balancing act" I'm shooting for is to raise the front and squat the back without carrying the wheels because with the super short wheelbase having the front wheels on the ground might be helpful

The good news is I swapped the old T/a valve body in last night and raised all 4 wheels off the ground and ran it through the gears...everything in the drivetrain seems to be A/OK now so I'm fired up to get her out again. Maybe I'll hit on of those Darlington T&T's with ya!

Jim thanks again for everything! You're one of my favorite people ever! I envy and admire the fun you enjoy with your fine son, ( yeah, that's you Chip). Seeing you guys makes me wish sometimes my boy shared my love of cars too... But it didn't turn out that way. But he plays guitar and sports and I like that too, so i guess it all works out. 2 out of 3 ain't bad, huh?
