I'm doing the dreaded BMF today, but I got the trunk details sorted out. I added hard lines to the pumps and fitted subwoofers and a red glitter carpet.

Been finishing off the last few things this week.

 I suddenly thought....

you can't hit the switches, if there ain't no switches to hit!

so I made a switch box and popped it on the front seat. I used those little PE ignition wire looms to space the switches and keep them in line. Red ignition wire glued into the holes, then cut them level with a tiny pair of scissors.

getting the body and chassis together, later. Once the epoxy on the interior tub has gone solid.

Oh man this is getting real wild, great stuff, although I think you may be down on power. Might want to add in about 4 more batteries,lol. 

Looking forward to seeing the BMF once complete.

Wow. This thing is fighting me all the way to the end. I spent the last DAY, trying to get the body mounted on the chassis. It seemed that every time I cut away something, believing it was the cause of the problem, a new issue arose.

 I was certain that the glass was mounted correctly and gave enough clearance for the interior tub, but as hard as I tried, or squeezed it together, I simply could NOT get the front end to fit properly. The front seems to have gone off-centre, too.

not bad when you see it with the hood closed, but when opened, you can see it's out by a few mm.

 I wondered if I'd try something easier next. But no. I'll have another day of rage on the next one, no doubt!

Looks sweet!

I've had the same issue in the past. No matter how many times I test fitted things, in the end the body wouldn't line up. Maybe the paint reduces the clearance. I dunno.

At last! This model is Under Glass.

Thanks to everyone who followed this build and gave me such great encouragement along the way.
