Stellar! So what's left to do on this beauty? Also, didn't Mark run an Ultima at this race?

An Ultima? No, he'd want an actual shot at winning.

Build a battery, install electronics, trim/mount/paint the body, find stickers (which is gonna be tough since I have no clear pics of it). That's about it.

Battery assembled.

Ugh, looking at that braid makes me cringe! I could never afford a decent soldering gun so I could never get the braid to adhere without giant blobs of solder.

Copy that.

Nice battery pack btw.

Well, let me just hop in my Delorean and travel back to 1992 and slap myself in the back of the head and say "Hey dumbass, grab some flux." Where were you guys then??! To this day I still can't look at a chick with braided hair without crying... Or a she-mullet for that matter, but that's a story for another day.

Made some progress on this. Thanks to Jeff for the help on the battery brace.

Very sexy!
