Looks like your little nuts came in giant boxes. Seriously though, WTF? 15 in one box? What a waste of packaging.

For us mere mortals, the boxes are too much overkill but to them it would cost way too much to retool a smaller box, then they don't sit in the distribution center or delivery box correctly.

It's funny, but everyone does it. If they can reuse a large box, the smaller part(s) go in and they save money.

I've seen it with aftermarket car electronic parts (back in the old days) and some just don't want to change over so to them, it's not a waste.


Anyway, back to the build... I love the bumper dressing here. The lettering and the diagonal stripes sure make a bold statement and if I ever wanted to make a hauler of some sort, I'll need those black and yellow bumpers. And I do appreciate the many pictures taken on what you have done so far. It helps motivate me to get something done.

Thanks Guys ;o) A bit tweaking and some paint Should do the trick i hope.

That little Lathe is so sweet to work with. Of Course i couldn't leave that in original state. I have been modding some crucial parts and now i'm happy with the performance. More of that and some picture On a screen near you soon.
