Exclamation Remember this Rig?

I've been busy building rigs for my customers (no complaints) and slacked off on my '79 Nissan Truggy. I finally had some time (I'm just about finished with Cloaks Tube Chassis EMaxx) and did some work on "Mello Yello". I fabricated some bottom links,raised the belly/tranny mount, and added some more support to the front nose. I was going to add a stinger and use a prototype "Nylint" tranny but 86'd both those ideas. I'm now using a laydown Pede tranny. I primerd the tool box and got the mount for it completed. I'm hoping to have this one done by the 2nd week of May. Lemme know what you guys think,any ideas?

Since Ole Yeller was sent out to pasture, this is probably going to be the rig that I take the most video of once it is done. That is looking great.

This reminds me, I need to go get you some paint.

Very Nice work so far, I have a question though, where did you get that cool fire extinguisher? the other parts looks great as well.
