Ok, I really like the Element Zuul body so I picked one up. It's a direct swap on the Ecto so I can run either or, depending on my mood. Of course I can't leave it stock so started some basics on it. And will report in when more progress is made.

Ist up, stock body shot.

The fuel cell was just a decal, can't have that.

I bought an extra Ecto accessory package that has a molded fuel cell to replace it with.

Next thing I did was take some other parts from the Ecto accessory pack and changed up the roll bars. Had to do some cutting and drilling but got it in place and it's pretty sturdy. Also installed the fuel cell. Can't really see it in the pic.

Nothing fancy at the moment, but it's a start. See if I can get some more done on it tomorrow

I love that, excellent work, can't wait to see the finished product!
 
Ok, this has been collecting dust for too long. Time to get back to it. Nothing major today but progress is progress.

Tapped some holes in the back end And put some lighting housings in for tail lights.

There was no way I was going to be able to put on the nut to secure the housing because it's a very tight spot. So "Plan B" it is. I flooded that sucker with hot glue. 🤣

Headlights and tail lights now work. Photos not the greatest, but hey, the cats were helping so I had to rush.

As I said just a quicky today, but moving forward again. :thumbs-up:
