This search is getting long so I figured I would poll the 6V drivers out there - where do you get your 6V batteries from?

Interstate has one (MT-19L) for $104 but I was wondering if there were any other alternatives?

I have a brand new one I just bought for Courtney's car from AutoZone. I am switching to 12V. It still has a few years left on the warranty. Its yours for $45 if you need it.

I think that I bought my last one (last year) at AutoZone for under 100 bucks.

Yea, I guess I should probably post some of those. Parts are on the way, as soon as the body gets back from paint it'll be a mad rush to get the whole thing on the road. I'll let you know when the fun starts

Alright, alright...I know this isn't the place for it but here's a couple of shots a some small projects I got done this week - sandblasted the headlights and rims, repainted the headlights, and picked up the rims from the paintshop that's doing the body then got some tires mounted. Outer portion of the rim matches the body color - Diamond Green
