I did see that, but it isn't big enough for me to see clearly.. Thanks though!
With the diff lose I still put it together. It won't be run anyway, at least for the time being. Here she is, almost finished. I still need to get a bodyset from Marwan. It has narrow front tires I know, which is wrong for a SWB but I kinda like how it looks. Plus wide wheels and tires are harder to find and expensive.
I think the chrome wheels looked nice with the Platinum shocks and MSC mount.

Those black Egress wheels get my vote on your Mid SE.

I like those egress shocks onthere. Could make a nice theme combined with the wheels. My fingers start itching to get working on my mid again too. Would love an LWB though and a bit wider chassis. There's just not enough space to have all the electronics low on the SWB chassis

Yes, the hi-cap dampers came standard with the Egress. Makes sense, Mr.ED, I might just put them on the Mid SE to go with the wheels.
