Then I put some white glue/water mixture on some toilet paper. (mixture: half water, half glue) I draped the wet paper over the plastic and gently shaped it. It tried to dissolve, I had to be very gentle.

I painted the covers and hand lettered them with a fine point ink pen. I probably should have used decals or transfer letters. But the font is unique to KC equipment. Boy someday I gotta' learn how to make my own decals..!!!!

Here are the finished lights on the Woody.... I think they look cool and very off-road'ish.

I decided I could not use the stock (wimpy) rear view mirror on this rig. This baby needs some real tough 4X4 truck mirrors. So, back to the GMC 4X4 kit for mirrors. (That's the same place I got the 4X4 drive train.) The mirror holders were too big so I mounted the mirrors on some round plastic. I also stripped off the chrome using amonia. It's cheap, safe, but works kind of slow. It also won't take off that under coat.

And here are two finished boards. The leashes are made from thread, wire and masking tape. I hunted the internet for pictures of a surf board leash. Usually, if I can see it, I can scratch build it..... Now don't the boards look better with a leash..???

Many thanks to HH Board members BIGTRUCK and JWhite for sending me the rope and bungee cord material. And many thanks to HH board member Bruce K. for posting this whole project on a special website.

OK, so here is the finished product. My vision on what I'd like to have to go on a real surfing safari.......
