It has been the most enjoyable builds to date for me. So much nicer to work on than my other much smaller rigs.

Fastflee has sent me one of his famous FleeFades in chrome to purple which I will be mounting after the bash on the 24th. Also going to flip the front side dom bracket so the body can be removed easily. Body looks fantastic.

All purple parts will be stripped and be re-coated in black anodize during the next tear down whenever that may be.

Sorry man, I had to do a little sticker removal.

The new lid really tops my rig off and gives the manly purple extra pop.

Great job on the lid Lee and thanks.
