Thanks Bugdust. Hopefully, tattooed didn't get a case of the "jaws" with me for asking about Zim. But, if he did, tough! It just seems ironic how some people are talked about when, for some reason, they stop on their build. That's how it is with me. I have ZERO excuses for not working enough on my project. I have the time (I'm retired), the $$$, 90% of my parts and a wife that wants me to get working on it. Also, I used to use the excuse that our St. Louis weather in the summer is too hot and humid, which it is (currently it is 95 degrees with 61% humidity), so last year, I airconditioned my garage. Guess I just gotta get out there and start working.

EXCELLENT!
This one is just too cluttered and tends to get hijacked to easy  ...
If, you'd like, before you start a new thread, I will move your new pics and posts over ok? Then you can go from there.

Zach's new thread, it's HIS project now. All old build pics and info will stay here.
If you'd like to ask Bugdust any questions about what he did while he had it, fine, but all OTHER nonsense is done. Don't make me lock this~
Now go watch the new kid.

I was actually going to suggest locking this thread.... It seems pointless to continue posting here...... It seems that the Hello Kitty stuff (yeah it was fun while Zim was here) has been replaced with....... "Where or what happened to Zim and is it done yet posts"..........

Re: Zim's RPU
If it becomes a problem, then yeah. But someone may want to ask about things Zach won't know since Charlie built the base first.

Re: Zim's RPU
I posted this on facebook a while back.
Zim took a fall and passed away a few days later. This was back in the late summer or early fall 2020. He was a good guy doing the best with the cards he was dealt.

Just remember saying I'm sorry and appologizing are the same thing. Unless you are at a funeral.
