Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
The tequila tanker is done! .....well, at least the lights and motorized legs are. The actual fluid hauling part will have to wait till a future winter build.
who knows, might take another 3yrs before that happens
I'm real happy with results. I wanted to keep it simple and subtle. No room for light bezels along the top so just went with small holes just large enough for the LED tip. 6/64 drill bit and the lighting is just right. When lights off you can barely even see the holes so, I like.
Using a chunk of Coroplast I came up with a nice material to make a mounting plate for the SS Tronix gear. Slides in and out like a tray and also incorparated a way to secure the battery. Using a 3,000ma nimh battery is overkill but at least this way I should be good for the entire summer and it adds weight on the drives.
Also added some back up lights and end markers on the stock bumper
It's hard to take pics of this shiny tank but like I say, it's hard to see the holes when not lit up.
