thanks for the major props wordlyfe - glad ya liked em...
words of encouragement to keep me going!

the lights on the bottom of the car, there's several methods out there... unfortunately right now I don't have any links for you to follow - maybe one of the other members can chime in with some links?
the quick overview of it would be to get some LED lights and a button cell. you'd find out where you want to mount your lights (in the chassis and cut out the chassis so they shine through, or other options) and then wire em up or connect em straight (whatever method you use).

when I get more time, I'll try to find you more info if someone else hasn't already done so.
