Now that it is looking better, I am more motivated to keep going on the build. Just been very busy the past few years to dedicate time to work on this. It's also very fun to operate. If I had a full set of working drawings it would have bee finished years ago.

I wonder if some removable lexan body work might help with future rust when running it at outdoor shows. Either leave it clear, or light fog paint so it's just translucent and doesn't hide the workings

I am already going to have some of the outer skin be removable so people can see inside. Plastic is a good idea.
