thanks brother!
I'm really trying to get pics for y'all cause I've basically finished one side. just needs welding and a skin. I've made the cuts on the drives side and am going to get all that tacked up soon. It's hard to find time to work on it cause I'm going to school and work full time.
I'll keep trying with the pics though guys

thanks guys! leg room will be tight but I'm not worried about it. I'm gonna skin it with 1/8th I think and see how it holds.
I can't wait until this is completed so I can finally build a cage off of it

Why not just skin it with 3/16 the first time? I think you're going to end up smashing the 1/8 pretty quickly.
