Oh yeah......lots of patience. I tried to sneak up on it. As you can see, there is another stud that is shaped like a Coke bottle. Very fragile. I suspect someone could have been here before and elected to kick the can down the road......to me!

FWIW, I'm not all that great at broken fastener removal myself. This one worked out well. Even looks like I was straight

I had a package(s) arrive today in the form of some nice survivor knock offs. Mike Vercheak and I were talking L72's, and he proceeded to tell me about the set of 5 he had. Mike was VERY fair with me, and check out these crates he made to ship them!!!!!

Stop making the car so much nicer. You’re making it harder to buy it when you move on to the next project.
