Got the X bracing welded in today, looks pretty sexy, still gets one more bar across the bottom. Some door bars, and and few more in the rear, and this thing is ready for some sheet metal.

Still crazy busy at work, drilled the spot welds yesterday to remove the front clip. Originally I was going to try to use the sheetmetal inner fenders and core support, but figure I might as well have a jungle gym in the front to match the one in the back. My new game plan is to make a new firewall which will be part of the chassis with pedals and column. I need to set the engine and trans back in the car to see how big the dog house will be, really hoping I can use the original dash.

The cage work is about done, lifted the body back off to finish welding. Will set the engine back in this weekend to run the exhaust, and get the firewall built. Big tires are mounted on the front, just has rollers on the back.
