Finished wiring for the cup holders and usb charger.

Also picked up my new Cobra transport . 8.5 x 20 Continental cargo.

I ordered the larger sleeves for the front quick jacks to be mounted with the large grommets. Makes a much nicer mounting fit and look. I was really nervous about cutting into the body for the grommets (there's only so much a body man can fix, unless your Jeff of course .) . I still have to get some acorn nuts or something to give it a better appearance. I also need some rubber washers for the rear quick jacks where the washer goes against the body.

Did some floor work for the trailer. Something hauling the Cobra needs to be appropriately treated. This is the Rustoleum epoxy 2.5car kit.

Things are progressing fairly well. Still have to get the body sitting just right. Finished most of the interior yesterday. Next will be the side louvers and undercoating of the body.

Getting closer to almost finished, as finished is probably never said. Worked on getting doors and trunk installed still have to do trunk latch and license plate mount. The doors are a true test of patience. Luckily I only have to get them to function, the final adjustments will be finished by a pro ! I also got the headlights installed and am using the daytime running light with them. It can be set to amber or white, for now I like the white.

I have headlights with amber and white halos, I'm using one color for daytime running lights and the other color for my turn signals.

I thought about that , these can be white or amber . I didn't think they would show up very well as a turn signal with the headlights on.

They're pretty bright.
