    Catching up, nice stack of parts, the color is excellent. The shop picture made me think you could have made a dune-buggy pretty quickly. :)

    Looking forward to progress pictures, no live feed needed....

    You make it seem easy when in reality it's anything but easy.

    No problem, if you can't figure out a mounting solution, put up some pictures and I'll think about it. [emoji12]

    Coming along nicely! I really dig the idea of a black battery skid, may have to borrow that one. Did you notice any scratching over time when you had it installed previously?

    Thanks!

    No issues. Unless you're under the car, you wouldn't notice scratches, anyway. It just makes the whole thing disappear, you don't notice it anymore with it blacked out.

    I use Chassis and Rollbar paint.

    Looking great Paul, looks like the switch is a little snug with your cage there, but still looks like it belongs. [emoji2]
