Thanks George,
I really wish LEGO came out with the Car Base 4 x 5 with 2 Seats
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=30149
in red, white, black, oh heck, the whole LEGO palette.
I think I'm gonna try to make a second copy paring it down to the least
amount of parts and no modified parts (except maybe hoses)
and still maintain the look (kind of like LEGO would do)
