Bungy-Good eye on the retainer bracket. I actually have it...it was in the bottom of the machine when I got it. I just haven't installed it, because I wasn't actually sure what overlaps what. I am also missing a few screws there (they were missing to begin with), so I figure I'll install it when I get those. I'm also waiting on my locks for the rear, so I have just a little bit left to go. As for the grand total...haven't even done it yet. I'm sure it's WAY too much, but let's see:$850 for the cab and delivery~$150 for lights, ballasts, starters, wood, Bondo, paint, biscuits, heat gun, Goo Gone$100 Dremel Max (I have a regular Dremel, but bought one of these to help with some of the wood work. I have other things to use it for, so it's not a total loss)$500 for esthetics (art-I got the "B" versions and saw nothing wrong, plastics, joystick, T-molding)$30 to Bob Roberts for "parts"$80 switcher$150 for help installing/soldering my cap kit, power cord, switcher-2 house calls, total 3 hoursSo I guess roughly $2k over the past month and a half. As some of you have alluded to, I'm a pediatric dentist, and I've been pretty busy right now. I worked a couple of saturdays and one of my days off, so this wasn't something "out of my budget". I had fun doing it. As my wife asked, would you rather have just spent the money for a perfect one, or have a project...I think I liked the "project". Plus, as my tech said, now it's "mine". I probably invested at least 30 hours into it. At MY hourly rate, I don't even want to calculate that totalOh, and I made those Tron and Flynn helmets...nothing that I bought. I'm no stranger to Bondo and Dremel work
