haha! Well, you have a great start. So you are going to put the plaster over it once you are done?

Ya, I am not too sure of it either. Maybe shoot the owner of that tread to see how he did it?

psh, man up and start hauling in the real thing. Best part is I can re-arrange the course to make it easier/harder as needed to balance it out between racing right to the top and being stuck at the bottom with no chance.    I was going to do the plaster thing but dragging rocks in from the field behind my house is free, haha. I still need to get a bunch more rocks also.

Well my 1:1 is a jeep like this one, so it was only fitting that I make this a jeep now too. The toyota cab did mount up a lot easier though.
