Thanks for your comments, Zackary!

A couple of quick phone shots, as i was heading out the door. I still need to add the handles and gauge. I formed a short length heat-shrink tubing over a tapered object to make the nozzle. Thanks for looking!

Very cool updates, Daniel!  Is your extinguisher bottle turned aluminum, or did you re-purpose something?  Also, how did you cut the mesh for your pedals so cleanly?  They must be really small items!

Thank you, Brian! I turned the fire bottle from a knitting needle I bought at the dollar store. I have found them to be a good, cheap source of machineable metal! I cut the pedals out with my photo-etch shears. Yeah! They were a bit of a pain to hold onto!🙂

I made a mount for the fire bottle, from aluminum flashing. It's not cemented into the car, yet, as I still have some work to do to it, but, it fits! I printed the label for the bottle, and some for the floor mats. I really like the way those worked out. Thanks for looking!

A little piece of jewelry, Daniel - sure looks amazing!  Can't imagine how you make decals that small. . .
