Everything is looking good man! This is an exciting build. I'm currently working on mine doing similar mods as yours. Just wanted to ask, do you know about how much tubing you used on the car? Between the tube front, rear, and roll cage? Also, what size did you go with?

Once again it looks great. Keep it up.

Welded up some stainless 4'' and made a muffler and the rest of the exhaust, got some time to wipe it down and get some decent pics.

















Also appreciate all the comments!

I used 1.5'' DOM, either 120 or 90 wall for the front, some 3/16 stainless rod for the headlight brackets, and 1'' for the removable rad bar, but you could use any size and any design you feel like.
