the next one will be better.the fix's for this one would include chopping off 3/8 off the rear,body wider 1/4 in the front and 3/8 in the rear,chassis step up a little earlier and wider and make more cockpit room.It's just easier to put this one on the shelf and start over!Thanks for the kind words!
