Bodywork coming with them now, or still a delay?

Congrats! I am hopefully picking up #160 on 1/2 on my way back from South Carolina (going to rent a trailer in Atlanta).

GOOD NEWS! My shipment came in today, the bodywork looks great.
BAD NEWS! UPS lost my Exocet frame.

UPS lost ours too. Took then a couple of days to figure that out and they found it a couple of days a few states away. It's a pretty big thing to stay lost.

UPS found it, and its sitting in my garage waiting for the powder coat on Monday. The garage is getting full with all these new boxes from Exomotive.  On another not, does Exomotive supply the fuel line, I didn't see it in the shipment. |

SS braided fuel line kit is worth the money, in my opinion.

Since the frame is at the poweder coaters, I decided to work on the rear body work. Here is a mock up of the tail lights im going to be building. Im not really a fan of the standard trailer lights, so I put my own spin on them to make them unique. Sorry for the bad pics, the camera just wouldn't focus on the LED tails, they are very bright Here is a shot of the back with a lens temped in place  Here is the running lights on  Here is with the brake lights  That's it for now, I'm just waiting for a few more sheets of ABS plastic so I can build the back of the tail to mount it. |

Those are very clean cut lines, how did you do that so well? I'm liking the tailight idea. Looking forward to seeing more.

The plexi I just cut with a razor, scored it a few times and snapped it clean off. The bodywork I used a jigsaw with a very fine tooth metal blade, it cut it no problem with no splintering. Many years ago I used to professionally build fiberglass speaker enclosures for cars, so I do have some experience working with this stuff.  |

Finally had a few hours to spare today and I finished the tail lights. Here are a few pics of the brakes I built out of ABS plastic, and the threaded mounts I epoxied to the rear inside. The long bolts are just there temp until I get the correct length bolts   Here is what the inside looks like, obviously the wiring will not be staying like that and will be cleaned up later.  Finally a few pic of the lights off/running/brake    |
