Today, I change the roll cage drasticly, i didnt like how it looked before, so I cut it out and started againlol. I lowered the rear main hoop and the front of the cage, I added the 3 small bars infront of the driver, which I think makes it look pretty cool. I also re-built the rear bar mounts. I sat the engine in this arfternoon. Its a pritty tight fit lol. tomorrow I plan on tiging it up and put the left rear mounts on and start on the front suspension mounts. after the chassis is welded up and done. Iam going to make the differential and all the suspenion and hubs then I can start on the body and finish it:)
