Wink Yeti XL aluminum body kit

Hi there! my name is Richard, and I have been working on several R/C projects. I figured I would post them on here, and see if any of you guys enjoy what i'm doing! Let me know if you like anything that I make, and feel free to make suggestions..because i get bored quickly, and I need some stuff to bend, cut, weld, grind, drill, or otherwise alter!!

Nice work

Are the window supports solid, then drilled and tapped?

I've been trying to figure out how the window supports are attached if they are hollow tubes - that hurts my head trying to figure out how stuff works so now I have a headache
