I think if hidden in an inconspicuous place and painted, it works. Random thought: It is interesting that Time Tunnel uses the stretch and another Japanese site I really like, Dream Express, does it as well.

I have bought from two of the guys as well, I don't mean to offend anybody but I was not happy with holes not lining up 100% and having to file down the battery box and fuel tank brackets. I guess nothing is perfect.

Let me also say, you can get the rails welded together. I have 2 of my trucks welded together and got a local guy to do it for $10 per frame...
