Just Curious.. what do you think, do you think you should have pre-loaded the chassis before you hung those quarters.?? i accually could nt sleep last night, thinking about that.... i usually make mine a roller,with motor in, hang quarters,weld, take it apart then put it back on the rack.. finish up the welding.. what do you guys think?? I dont want to bust your bubble......... just a thought.. jc

Well, I've stared at it quite a bit as every bit of input counts. I personally don't think that having the suspension and engine in would really affect anything because the car just sits on top of all of that stuff. I may be wrong but I hope not. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

I noticed the r/c helis and plane. Gotta have good, steady hands to fly one of those helis!!! Beautiful work!
It sure does take some concentration! I've crashed all of them but the biggest one-they're a handful for sure!

Thanks Superfreak! Yes, I've been welding since I was a kid. My Dad, his Dad and his brothers all had welders and torches and stuff like that so if something metal in the family was broke, it wasn't for long!-Jake
