      You are really drivin' on with this build, Peter. Nice work and the tire assembly with the inner liner is quite interesting. They look great though...

      Why are you supposed to file the Firestone lettering? Maybe to give decals a good surface???

          That's weird Pete, but I get it now. I guess it was an oopsie on Heller's part. Thanks!

                  Wow, you got the exhaust pipes on and lined up correctly … I started on that the other day on my Tyrrell, and couldn’t get them to fit properly. I ended up building the rear frame that includes the ends of the exhaust pipes first, so that once that’s dry I can try again, but with two points of contact.

                          That looks great Peter.
                          Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                              Definitely in pole position and leading the pack. Great progress and neatly done.

                                That is really coming along and at record speed Pete. Nice color and the motor is great too! But, you and Stefan need to slow down a bit. We still have 75 laps to go in the race Sir...
