Very interesting to follow this. I like how you did the exhaust.
Keep up the good work!

Watching closely just bought one of these so looking out for any fit issues

Nice work on the exhaust. I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on with the LEDs.

[Old_Tonto]

LED's up the tail pipe! What will he think of next?

Great work on the engine can. Very cool, can't wait to see it painted up.

How will you power the LED's?

[Dirkpitt289]

Making a bulkhead to secure the LEDs to.



Using a food carry out container lid I made a cover for the inside of the exhaust cone.





I used some flat finish to remove the clearness of the plastic so you won't be able to see the LEDs behind it.





Wiring the LED's. I wanted to originally use orange LED's but I had none and didn't know how long it would take for my order to come in so I went with one yellow and one red.



I got a square brass rod to act as a support base. I chose to go through one of the wheel wells





Channeling the wires







Thanks for taking the time to look at my project
