More Broken Parts

Making slow progress on my most recent project, mainly because it is really cold in my work area.
A small space heater just isn't able to keep up when it is 4 degrees outside!

But I had been making slow progress until this afternoon.

The current kit that I am working on is an offering from Revell, and has its "press-fit" or "snap-in-place" wheels and axle design.

I was smart enough to press the front wheels and brakes on prior to installing on the chassis.
But then came the rear-end.

Don't know if it was the cold, my slightly numb fingers, or simply my own amazing strength, but sure enough.....
Snapped the rear axle in three pieces. Broke it completely from the chassis and drive shaft, as well as tore out the rear springs and other small pieces as well.

Now hopefully the glue will hold the pieces together well enough that I can get them back under the car.

Already started gluing the rear axle housing back together here. Hopefully it will go back in smoothly and be strong enough to hold together. About ready to toss this one.
It has certainly been fighting me.
