Amazing work. I especially was mesmerized by the drive shaft cobble and the axle & half-shaft mods. Could never pull that off myself. But..... I saw references to inches.......inches? Don't they chuck you in the slammer for that in Canada? Well done though and congratulations on BOTM.

I was looking again and thinking about the color scheme.
I really like the yellow tank being the only bit of bright color.
Nice choice.

I was not happy with the carrier, some flex and clearance issues became obvious with a passenger on board so the Delta Wing needs a Covid Carrier.
