Progress creeping along, lots of headbanging.  Starting to setup the rack and tie rods. |

 Completely ironed out the front brackets, lines up good with the plumb bobs. Now on to setting up the rear.... |

Good question, I'm a Henry Ford kind of guy, you can have any color..... As long as its BLACK. No ghey tribal graphics and funky nuclear colors for me. Maybe some brushed sides. Either POR15 (the new UV stuff) or powder if the price is right. Actually this IS my first rodeo, my first car from scratch, first offroad toy, first tube bending project, etc. Lots of CAD and head scratching... lots of reading. MORE TUBE!   I think the floor is done besides seat tabs and maybe soem kind of center console  Start of the rear shock mounts.  More bars in the main hoop section. |

Nope, old school Autocad 2000. You can't do anything other than tubes in bendtech.

 That gives it some much needed anger... And its doesn't block the view very much at all. Added roof bars too. |

I haven't gone through a whole spool yet. Did run out of CO2 tonight  Notching? A $50 China freight special mounted in my drill press, works alright not the most centered notches but I'm not building $75,000 car. |

Started the epic piece that will the front shock mount... I like how the logo came out, good stuff I'll have to back light it.  Finally got around to the main tube truss work....   More to come. |
