It's illuminating watching your projects take shape (and detours) as it moves forward. This one keeps getting better ... as they all do!

SIX BIG ONES!

I cut 6 lengths of Plastic Tubing and then added a circle of plastic to each end. With a little Sanding and Grinding I got them to fit in the Taillight holes.

Next I glued the Tubing to the ends of the Engines.
