Now you just need the scary looking clown head on a spring on top that sweet tooth had. Sweet looking build so far.

This thing is cool looking and fast saw it at Indy and what an awsome job smiley is doing on this machine. I am inspired to do one next year for Indy and we can put on a show in the parking lot with missile and flame throwers. LOL.

Scary ice-cream truck would be cool, but what I think would also be funny would be a UPS/FedEx/DHL/etc. truck that flings packages out of it, like they did on that show "Monster Garage" (if anybody remembers that) or just drops them out the back or through a hole in the floor.

Or

Paint it with some "Vote for (insert idiot political guy here) showing him and his happy family on the side" and put those huge old school loudspeakers on top with a sound system. And the sound system could just sound like the adults on Charlie Brown cartoons. Wwaaa waaa Woo wwaa wwwaaa wa. Cause all politicians sound like that if you listen to them long enough :)

Anyway looking forward to seeing what you really did with it...

Oh that's an awesome paint job! Very cool! You need a sound system with like the bells they ring or cheesy music they play and maybe a creepy laugh or "Want some candy kiddies!"

I was going to say 'awesome paint job', but it's a wrap? No matter. It looks pretty sweet none the less! Definitely the meanest looking delivery truck around.

That looks wild! I'm curious - when you wire up all these LEDs, it looks like you use little to no resistors to limit the current. I see a few, but the majority of your LEDs are just a series of 4, wired in parallel. What do you run the LEDs off of?

That starting to look great Keith, keep up the good work.

Smiley that baby looks like its rocket launcher ready lol. If I may make one suggestion, I would possibly consider putting two bright LEDs is the eyes of sweet tooth on the side of the vehicle. Maybe orange in color to stand out from the red ones you have every where else. And have you given any thought to how you can do the clown head on the spring ontop of the truck?

Thanks :D. Yes I usually don't use resistors unless I have to. On this one its a 7.2 pack
