they all look good, but what is wrong with that monaco? what I mean is the whole under carriage is not lining up with the body itself.

Thanks, glad you like it. It was a lot of fun building. Your dad was great to deal with also. Anytime you need another give me a yell, I will be glad to do another one.

then the number one thing to add to it is the mini saw blades just watch you fingers. I am luck my wife works for a Doctor. First year I had a lot of stitches till I go a cutting glove.

Yea those mini blades greatly help but there a great risk that thing will slice bone before you can blink

Cody you could send it to 307ci just chalk it up to being nice. If you do I will send him some tips and a new cutting wheel.
307ci if you have a xacto knife, heat it up and use the blade to make your cuts it also works great. Just be careful not to cut yourself. They called me Tim Talor for years at my wifes work. Darn derby cars. LOL
