Thanks guys, I need to lower the grille down or something, it looks goofy.

Or at least you will be able to see better. I like the grill, but agree about lowering it to line up with the top of the cowl. The best part is it is up and running!

It steers great! I have taken it down some of the crappiest roads I know! I mean REALLY bad roads, and the thing goes nice and straight. I even practically jumped the truck once! That was scary I hit a sunk in manhole cover and WHAM! It went sidways on me a little, and I counter steered, this is a rear suspension thing. The suspension on the truck is really stiff in the rear and I don't have shocks on the front yet as I haven't had the money to buy shocks, not to mention I couldn't decide how I wanted to mount them. It would make a great flat track vehicle.
