Hello Mr. Jee,
please count them:

You are right, although I thought you referred to the screws that are connecting the axl to the leafsprings. Nevertheless a great model

A beautifully built, ugly little bug. I love vehicles that were designed with pure function over form.

Absolutely stellar build jhamm!

The photo of the underside of the chassis shows some rather elegantly handled workmanship in tight spaces. Note how the driveline comes down on an angle from the "engine" to the transfer case, and how the driveline to the rear axle, especially, fits in a tight spot among the frame reinforcements.

Another thing of ugly beauty. I really like oddball stuff, and the ingenuity that goes into building them.
