I hear ya on the wife thing....I have some HUGE boxes showing up this week.....Fed-Ex likes to come rigth at dinner time.

Me too! I get home in early afternoon so I can usually intercept the stuff from USPS or UPS. Dang Fedex is always late in the day though. Kind of hard to explain "another" box arriving. It really doesn't matter anyway though since she sees the Paypal stuff on the account.

I found your problem...

I started putting it on my credit card so it wouldnt show on the accout, but she is looking their now to. Plus what do you say when your confronted with whats the pass word on the paypal account I want to look at it?

You tell her you need the PayPal key fob that changes the end of the password every 30 seconds....and I keep.

I really cant complain if I was working, and not going to school she wouldn't care what I bought. Its just getting real tight wile I am in school. she told me to just wait and when I get back to work I can buy anything I want. I told her I want some NIB Jrx2 and T she said thats fine. She is a good woman!!

Yep, I can't complain about mine either. She's put up with me and my toys since 1984. She even wants to surpise me with stuff but she can't tell a Super Champ from a Tyco Turbo Hopper.

At least they try

well this is back on the table, I want to get it running before summer. does anybody know a current screw bag that has the little Brass shock spacers in them?

well since I found some of the parts that have been holding this project up. I have been putting some wrench time in on it. I still need some parts but I am getting real close to haveing a runner.
I through some paint on it I dont think I like it, I wish I would have reversed the colors. I thought the orange would look better. it might be better with some decals? what do you think. I might order a new body and paint it Blue with a orange stripe?

I'm liking that the way it is Rick. Lokks hot! I think it would benefit from a few decals though. You can always peel 'em off if you don't like it.

I know this is old but I am starting a Wild One/FAV project my self. I like what you did with the colors, nice to see something different. Any updates?
