Thats cool man ..... you got him one like you were saying. I like the idea of video chat to help him build it too. Man thats the kind of stuff I never could have done back in the 80's. Only a phone back then. Man I remember it was Xmas of '83 or '84 when I got my Frog. I was about 350 miles away from home at my grandfather's house. It was about 1 or 2 in the morning and I was up alone building the Frog all night. I got to the tranny and realized I had no diff lube. I looked around and only found really thick grease. It was REAL thick. I remembered my friends' brother used vaseline for his Frog, so I went to find some. All I could find was neosporin, so yeah you guessed it .... My Frog was lubed up with neosporin ..... I wasn't gonna let anything stop me that night LOL. It ran fine. I eventually bought some lube at the LHS. I say LHS .... it was a toy store in the mall LOL.
