Awaiting arrival of parts, so turned my focus to tools.
Hudy car stand rubber strips were showing wear. That and my R1E rustler CF chassis does not have countersunk chassis screws. It rocks a bit on the stand. Glued a pair of 1/8in thick neoprene strips atop the Hudy strips to correct both issues.
The 1/4in drive set I bought for my dad fifty years ago. He put it to immediate use and wore a good bit of the gold plating off. It came back to me when he passed in 1996. Over the years it became scattered about amongst other tools. Gathered it all up for display. Added my own Snap-On pocket screwdriver that got frequent use back in the '60s.
Feel free to post up your favorite car stands and collectable tools here. The good, the bad and the ugly. Cheers. 'AC'
