No choking my friend! My biggest struggle right now is finding good pictures of the pieces I need to make. The real truck is 3 hours away(one way) so I can't just go and look at it. Originally we were just going to use Tamiya running gear so I didn't take very many pictures of the suspension components. I want to create something here that no one else will ever have so I need to make everything I can from scratch. In the end I hope it will turn out well. Fingers crossed!

Yep, it works awesome and evaporates very quickly with no mess. It just makes sense to use it on parts that will be painted, powder coated or glued as it leaves no oily residue. I can see how running coolant on production equipment would be better but for me building small parts it's perfect.
