  1. Great looking car -- where did you get that light strip from?

  2. www.elwirepros.com

    this is what i got:

    1 RC-9v Inverter rc-9v-inverter
    1 Quick-Connect EL wire QC-22mm Color = Blue 2.2mm
    Length = 4ft

    I hollowed out a space for the 9volt battery in the car, and painted a canopy that i got from hobby lobby the same color as the car to cover the battery.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Awesome looking car! How did you attach it to the car? Hot glue?

  5. The shape of the car could just be a wedge. The canopy is a plastic cockpit. I just painted it the same color as the car. You can find it at any hobby store . http://www.advantagehobby.com/126967/PIN346/Canopy--Cockpit-Set/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIicG0m4au2gIVFb3sCh0ypgFQEAkYBCABEgLQp_D_BwE
