I have put the cabs details on and put the cab on the chassis. All i need to do is respray the cab and then add the side trims and windows. I should have the mfu system at the end of the month along with the upgraded dampers and wheels. I have also ordered some new stacks to replace the ones in the set. The new hollow ones will allow me to install a smoke system. Hope you have liked the build as much as me building it for now it is complete. Soon as the other stuff comes i will add that on Thanks for looking Kind regards Duane spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

That looks supercool Duane, you've made a very good job of building it and in record time too - well done!!  
Looking forward to seeing the upgraded stacks and other bits fitted at the end of the month, will you be doing a video of the rig in motion and with some smoke maybe?
