This is why I shut down LRU and halted the skellenger project. No interest.

Paul, don't forget to send those 2 bodies for my friend!

paul your work is definitely outstanding I want one of those Daytona bodies!, and will stand out for the future to come, your cobras are second to none! dtw is right about the many options in my opinion, but your cars are in a class by themselves! the jeron cars are drivable! trust me I know cause I start em and all, as for fragile only the bodies which are aluminum. just by looking at your cars its obvious that your attention to detail is crazy! every once in a while does a person like you and your work pop up, then when your gone, the scramble will start for your cars and parts etc because then people realize whats not there any more and nobody comes close!

they were technically better just due to newer manufacturing teqniques. But that did not matter because either people wanted to pay less then cost or just plain would not come up with the money as with everything i offered on LRU. I literally lost over 50k by offering that crap to people. Best thing i ever did was shut that thing down.
