Nice job on the frame and running gear Nick. How does the wheelbase measure up? When I'm doing this kind of mod I try (not always successful) to get it as close as possible.....just so I can sleep nights :thumb2:

Nice progress Nick. Figure does look to fit well. Figures inside vehicles often need major surgery even when they come with the kit!

Hard to tell mate……but if it’s 360 degrees out, it’s back where it started…..
