Thank you Craig. I have been looking on fc connection, is there some where that would have specs on them? As in gvw and what not. Also on the 170 single wheels, are break parts shared with any other models?
Thanks,
Chris

: You hit the nail on the head! Other than the
: typical rust issues, front brake drums are
: non-existent on the DRW's! Rust areas to
: check out are above the windshield, cowl,
: cab corners, floors, drip rails. No
: replacement body parts are available.
: Everything has to be handmade. There are
: some nice body panel build links on the tech
: page of The FC Connection.

: Good luck and try to find the best body you
