Thank you all, you are too kind.
Brokenb4: What did you use for the rear body panels?
The sides are thin styrene sheet, the roof and interior are also styrene, only the little panel at the back and the skid are Aluminium.
I got called back to work so spare time has been short recently. I will update later today. Thanks again for taking a look.

Sorry for the delay! I got tied up with the wiring,
The boys got busy and here we go.
Fred and Vinny found a battery powered LED striplight and decided to scrap the existing tube roof light bar for a lighter one.
They cut took the light apart and cut it to size.
Then proceeded to build a styrene box to house the new system.
Vinny got an idea, "let,s call the little piggy 'Christmas' mmmm! pork chops"
Fred, " Listen knucklehead, you wanna play or build a light bow huh!?"
To make up for getting Fred pissed off and scrapping the first light box, Vinny got his young nephews to come over and help with the sanding on the new design.
Both the kids are into skateboarding so Vinny called and got them a membership to the local skate park, what a nice guy.
Now Fred was a little less grumpy (hangover was wearing off) and the kids did a fine job with the sanding, he sent them on their way, "Bye! thanks for the help guys!" " Yea! now this looks better."
Ok, let's get serious again, Charlie and Fred started to fit the lights and fix the wiring.
Then Fred fabbed up a fuel tank (battery holder).
Got the paint on, wired up the box and lights, front and rear (dollar store LED clip on reading lights, Radio shack red button lights,ect)
Got the light bar fitted to the roof, Andy(the driver) likes them a lot.
Test the lights!
No smoke or sparks! They all work fine. Hard to see the rear lights with the flash, and Hey! I noticed they started decorating the walls too.
It's raining outside today so can't get action pics right now, but I will post some as soon as I can.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look. More as soon as I can!

Thank for the great comments and encouregement. This build would'nt be possible without the help and tips I've got from you guys.
Andy got to take 'Nasty" for a spin.
She seems to handle pretty well, just a few kinks to iron out.
Here is a little video, Please! don't laugh too much, my driving skills leave a lot to be desired.
Thank again to all of you guys.
