      is it blue or is it just the light making it look that way? I like it either way... I guess it stuck to the lexan good then...

      Did you sell the left over piece of material(don't remember the name) you used for your skid plate ?

        Firewall and floor are 16 gauge sheetmetal. I thought it had a blue sheen to it as well. Maybe it will dry black. Idk..

                  Note to self... air bumps are a snug pinch fit into cans, so don't go heavy when painting cans. Wow they were tight to go in! Got a couple other things bolted in too...

                        that is looking real pretty. Like the arrangement of everything. It'll look good all scratched and chipped up too.

                            Seats and shifter.

                            Seats comin out one more time to slip in my rear firewall. I had one on the last buggy and loved it so I'm tryin to sneak one into this buggy too. It cuts noise from exhaust and rad fan, keeps mud and rain out from the back.

                            It be a two man operation w my back and trying to form it around seats so maybe Friday nite deal

                            Also got some kc daylighters on the front. Not wantin to hang uber expensive lights off the front, but I haven't had good success w cheapies either. Slap 10$ wall marts underneath as rocklights cause they ain't gonna last anyway.
