I did a little weathering, got the headlights hooked up, and I think I will call it good for now. I still need to install my engineer and add window glass, but I like to wait a while to make sure I am happy with everything before I do that.
To answer Gary's question: It runs well now, but the low gearing makes it noisy. I put in a NWSL gearbox and a new motor, and modified the fake side driveshaft to reduce binding. As designed, the MDC mechanism runs quite poorly.
