Interesting thoughts on the braces - should be simple to do. Once I get mine put back together, I should be able to get a better feel for what it might look like on the flux.
I got the Gigante body in last night - the thing is HUGE! Got it scuffed and washed and ready for paint. I'm thinking I might deviate from my standard black "Outkast" paint job on it though. Might do the white/grey two tone....I hate getting a new body 'cause I really want to test my skills with the airbrush, but I always have to convince myself to just grab the rattle can - a body typically only lasts me two to three months.

My cups should be here tomorrow or Monday......cant do a darn thing on it till they get here. Picked up an LST roller this afternoon to start my LST/Muggy truck, so that might keep me a little busy in the meantime. It was kind of a bummer though when I bought it - the guys last name was the same as a guy I worked with back in the late 90's. I asked him if he was related, and it turned out they were brother's. But he died in a dirt biking accident back in '02. The guy was truely one of the good ones - I had thought he was upper managment by now. Was kind of a sobering moment. R.I.P. Bert.

If/when you find something on a center diff set up, I'm VERY interested in trying to fit one up also. Should help the handling of this beast tremendously.

ps... You know the team you cheer for sucks when the networks switch to a different game by the second quarter.... ;(
