We have liftoff!! Time to blow it all apart and make all the pieces purty and ready for painting. First need to finish all the welding on the underside of the body, then tear the chassis apart to finish all the frame welding, etc.

All torn down, temporarily reassembled the cage so I can add connecting tabs between the front shock towers and the front downtubes.

Got the connection made between the front downtubes and the shock mounts, also added tabs for removeable door bars, if I decide to add them later..
Cage off again, final welding to do on the frame then cleanup for painting.

Interesting how small it looks behind your truck. Looked a lot bigger in the shop.
