I bought my thunder chassis fall '04 and its took almost 3yrs to get it together. Now that I have some spares, I'll have more fun with it. The chassis I bought had been beat pretty hard, had a lot of stripped threads. Fortunately I'm well versed in helicoil installation. The stripped ones are now stronger than they originally were.

It going to be diff not scrounging for UE parts as seriously as I have been.

It can be done!
