Got some paint laid. Our painter didn't give me quite enough. Another ounce would have done it. I've got primer showing in the door jams and the rockers [emoji853] have to try and get some more tomorrow.

How heavy is this and what foams are you using?

Right now it comes in at about 7lbs almost on the dot. As for foams as far as I know they are the stock foams that come with the regular size pit bull rockbeasts. They seem to be perfect so far. I haven't gotten it out on the rocks to see though.

That's an awesome build. I want to try my hand at building a cage. What kind of tubing, and what are you using for a bender?

I used brake line and silver soldered them together. Bending either by hand or a cheap Bender from the parts store

Did you do something special to your headlight lenses to reduce the "whiteness" of the LEDs?
