Not that you are a people pleaser, but the bumpers look much better in black  . The interior turned out nice . Is that orange and black or red and black? It's difficult to tell.

Got the shifter done. It's a balloon on a square piece of styeren. I cut a notch in the edge of the square so the balloon would stay on. Drilled a hole in a soft air bb and glued it to the shaft.    |

Here's my body mounts. I put velcro behind the seat and in front of the dash and on the inside of the door panels.    |

The interior bucket is bolted to the frame. Then I put velcro on the inside of the body.slide it down and press on the gas tank and hood, stick my finger in the door and squeez the door panel to the body. It worked out slick    |

All the eletronics mount on the cockpit, even the battery. Just plug in the motor and 4 bolts mount the cockpit to the chassis.   I got to drive it around a little bit today, got a few more details to do before I go and tear it up.:-P  |

Thanks guys. I got her out on the rocks today,Only got to do a battery. This thing drives really well. I'm real happy with how it perfroms. I still got to tweak on it a little just to see if it gets better.      Last edited by ROCKEDUP RICKY; 07-06-2008 at 06:17 PM. |
