I'm sorry to hear that :(
I am stuck on my Red Dart right now. I pulled the motor to detune it, but I just don't have the motivation I did when I was building the car for the track. I really never intended it to be a street car, and as it is, it's not the street car I will be happy with. I've thought about parting it out and doing something a bit more radical with the '60 Dart Seneca.
BTW, I tried to send you a PM, but it says your mailbox is full.
