trying to get back to working on this regularly. I attempted to work on it yesterday but I had my boys with me and my oldest started beaking off about that if only the wadded up samurai outside ran he could drive that no problem. Hehehe five minutes later he attempting to do his first clutch/gas maneuver in the jalopy.
Upside of that he did drive it around the shop couple of times. Downside is he has claimed it as his. even insisted it could be left without a hood any longer as he doesnt want water in the motor.

Let’s be honest here, the kids pushing to drive a rig might be the easiest way to see a rig finished and driving , this might be it
