Nice! I see a gear drive, should be able to hear that thing coming. What are your plans for exhaust? I am in desperate need of new exhaust on mine and I'm trying to see what others are doing first.

Trying to regain some ground I lost !!

I thought about making it black and white but liked the color, the sky lights add an extra feature and good lighting
