Great progress on the build. Can't wait to see the end result - even if you did start it just 'cause you were pissed at the uniframe!

did some more work today, trying to finish up the from end. Lots of little stuff to do. decided not to do external cage, it will be internal, everything will be tied into the body.

it is staying full bodied, no chopping of the body, that's why I decided to do internal cage for safety so that the body on the outside is visible.
as for the weight, its scaring me a bit, I'm not sure what its going to weigh in at. 6500# ?? guessing.

NJDevL28, to answer your question, I learned back in high school a bit of welding, sheet metal work and just lots of practice in the garage.
