I bet you are!

How did you repair the shell? Plastic welding?

I guess this means we may see the Rocket on the OzHPV ride on the 12th.

The shell wasn't too badly damaged. ...Nothing a heat gun & a bit of manipulation could sort out.
Yes. I'll have it out for the OzHPV ride.

Glad to hear you and your Green Rocket are back up and running, awesome news on the repair and just think, he should still be getting chased around by a 300 pound nazi gorilla for fun fun for a little while yet. :mrgreen:
