Ok, I got it today. It's not horrible, but not great either. The guy who owned this was a meathead and used a plethora of different screws on the thing. The front bulkhead was broken so he fabbed up a skid plate out of the bottom of a coffee can to hold the front end together. :roll: ..and the rear shocks were mounted on the wrong side of the rear arms. I guess it could be worse... Anyway, here's my post for parts if you guys have any.

Sweet looking ride Keith. Only thing missing is the Dead Pool body. Do you still have it? Maybe kind of growing on you?

Man..............now i'm even more pissed I didn't bid on that! That turned out great! I know what you paid for it so I guess you'll have to sell it to me for the same price right :?: :wink:
