No problem! This build has been slower than most as all this is new to me. Never had a pan car, so a lot about this car took me a while to figure out.

My current issue: fitting the McLaren body to the chassis. Cut out per the mold lines, it almost fits, but hits in several places. My biggest point of confusion is whether or not I'm meant to keep the "tail" of the body, the part that swoops down over the motor, behind the air intake. If I am, soldering wires back there will be super tight, and there is no way I can run a heat sink. I may just wait till Saturday and see what others have done before I start cutting.
