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.zebee wrote:I bet you are!recumbenteer wrote:

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.
