Thanks guys. Hopefully the body will be finished this week. Will post pics.

Bear, the wheels are American Racing Torq Thrust. I got them from Flatlands Engineering but I think you can get them from North Hants tyres too.

Hi Mel and everyone.
Mel you did an outstanding job with the design of the bounty hunter. I'm pleased you like what I have done with mine. Could you tell me what headlights are suitable for the light pods. They seem to be just under 9 inch and most UK lights are 8 1/2 which leaves a gap round the outside. I think maybe old ford truck lights or something similar would be better.

I've made progress with the buggy but been so busy with everything else that I've neglected the build blog. I'm Going to be busy for another month and then I will fill in all the details. In the meantime here's a few sample shots of where we are at the moment.

as said looking good, just one observation on LED rear lights fitted at an angle and that is some become invisible to the driver behind, unless you are pulling a wheelie at the time.
