Forgot to ask how the fishing went.

I been too busy getting my onroad car ready and I have neglected my FAV (sorry Rube).

The lights are in and all I have to do is hide the wires in some heat shrink.

Pretty much done. No electronics yet though. I've also ordered some accessories to dress it up a bit - fuel can, jack, fire extuigisher, etc..... It won't be finished for some time.

Thanks Rube. The ones on the proline website? Jack is similar to what I've got at the moment, but I've bought a cheapo RC Mart Fuel Can and tools. Hopefully they turn out ok.

Can't wait to see your next masterpiece.
