    Really stoked to have NealinCA working his steering box magic on this build! He'll have to fill you in on how much of a pain this box was but it turned into something special thats for sure. Check it:

  17. Awsome build! Love the chassis, the dash, the nerfs, the motor mounts and especially the stache! I don't care what a body is made of, if it looks good and is driven its cool.
