Thanks for compliments guys. The hood, and grill are twisted customs but the chassis was built by a buddy here in North Carolina. I liked the twisted chassis but 4k is alot of money and then to ship it would have been insane. Hopefully the adapter from stak will come this week and the engine/trans/transfercase can be mocked up. I am pulling the rear axle out of the cruiser tomarrow.

Little update...still waiting on the stak. This is my first attempt at making a floorboard/firewall. I am somewhat happy with it but may change a few things and make everything fit a little better. Tranny tunnel/firewall are removeable. Also made a fuel cell mount that is braced in the middle with the sway bar and hopefully with alot of padding will keep it from leaking. Also tacked in the rear winch but it still needs alot of bracing. The cargo area will be over the winch so it wont take up any space. Oh, also started to mount the radiator and made the lower support. This thing looked WAAAY smaller in the picture online.
Let me know if something looks way too booty fab. :shaking:
