Slow goin

Not much to post up on, been slow goin-been workin on the little steering parts that seem to take forever but its still being worked on, i just had to take a brake for a while to get my sanity back

I hear the part about a break... Although when I take too long of a break I start going insane from not working on the rat... Nice work on the Stude!
