Progress creeping along, lots of headbanging.

Starting to setup the rack and tie rods.

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.

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.
