My B44 arrives!!

My B44 arrived last night! I began the build after I finished dinner. I put together the diffs and front shocks with no issues, but I ran into a problem when building the rear shocks. A shock rod end must've split when I installed the pivot ball, because it spread wide apart when I attempted to screw it onto the shock shaft. So, I need to pick a new one today, along with some new foam inserts ( the kit ones were kinked). I quit for the night after building all the turnbuckles and steering bellcranks. It may seem like I didn't get alot built, but diffs and shocks need to built correctly to make sure the car handles well. so I took my time with building these components :)

More of my build log and some pics coming soon!
