Ken, really sorry to hear about your problem but glad it didn't turn out worse. In a strange kinda way it is good that you have posted this though, because it points out that no matter how we engineer our rods, things can happen. That is why I post all the good stuff that happens to me when building a car and also some of the bad things that rear their ugly heads from time to time. It is all part of the game, and those who are just starting in this hobby need to understand that and not get discouraged...................you fix them and move on.

Let's face it, we take a bunch of parts that were never designed to work together and mate them into a running, driving creation, and we do it without the benefit of engineering degrees (well, some of us anyway ) and without millions of dollars worth of equipment and years of R and D time. The fact any of them go down the road is pretty amazing.

Thanks for posting that story. I bet you have helped more people than you know.

Don
