I love it, Are you going to build it yourself? If so, put some deminsions up if you can. I would love to build one just like this.

Also have you thought about a reciever?

This was drawed with Pro/Eng. I didn't put a receiver on because i have a fixed tow hook coming out from underneath, but it can be added right in the middle.

Oh gotcha. I havnt used that one yet. Im in an Engineering Design class and pretty much all we did was make stuff with Sloidworks and AutoCad. I may only be 19 but im oldskool. I can draw it out on paper and build it to exact specs faster than i can put it in the computer. Of course that portion of the class is over and we're building Vex robots now so its all good

Not bad, not bad.


How are you going to fill the gaps under the tail lights.



Maybe I should hire you to implement my ideas & design the rear bumper/carrier so I can build it.
