    Looks great! I would like to see more of how you did your lights. I am trying to figure out a good setup for mine.

    plus it give me room for my getto ATO ;D

    top with the wiring and I used porcelin sockets from home depot and drilled holes through the board and fed the neck through the holes and let the tops rest on the board so that there wass no salt water getting to the brass. also i put electric tape on the screws so that there were no screw-ups on my part. ALso i used a heavy heavy gage wire so that there were no issues in the wiring. I then used 1/2 plyboard for the skin and 2x4's for the legs and galvinized <- spelled wrong, so no rust and it cost about 10 bucks and can be motified for better looks but i just dont have the time and it works.
