yeah scott, i hope my shots are current!! i got a nice GASH on my anckle from throwing the bumper and frame i cut off with a piece of bed floor still attached, it got me GOOD. Lesson learned, when throwing heavy objects, make sure they don't get caught on anything!! I'm uploading pictures now.

Yeah you could say that, i spent the rest of the afternood aquiring parts from the doors and trying to save the sheetmetal off the drivers side so i can patch the damage on the RC.

I like the picture of the hoist, i thought about how to get it off for about a minute, after lifting it off wasn't working.

Anyways taking a food break and hopefully i'll have my mess cleaned up and i'll start pulling drivetrain out of RC
