Thanks Billy. Yeah, I know its probably not for everyone, and that's cool. I have a lot of plans for it still to come, so I'll be sure to post pics as it continues to evolve :thumbs:

Got a few odds and ends done today. I finished wiring up my H3 driving lights. They are 55 watts each so I went a head and wired them up with a relay. I also installed a vintage switch that I bought a while ago. The knob on it lights up when you turn the lights on.

I also *finally* mounted my fire extinguisher, it's been rolling around under my seat for about 6 years now, lol :P

The other thing I did was remove the dash grill and take a couple grades of steel wool to it, it was pretty crummy looking. Also, the wire mesh behind the grill was rusty and crummy looking, so I cleaned it up and painted it flat black for more contrast (all after the above pic was taken). Been meaning to do those things for about 6 years too,! :hillbilly:
