this is the start of the ex cage will post more picture later today after i pick it up from welding shop.

the over cost was less then it would have cost to to buy a bender, nutcher and tubing .

this shop does good work he made the rear suspeinion i run on my rail and told me if i could break them, he would fix for free 2 years ago and still have not hurt them pretty good when you think my little pinto is almost 400 hp out of a 2.8 motor bored and troked

[gotrocks]

holy wheel spacers batman,

Your putting 3" spacers on the rear.. Why not just put a wider further offset wheel?

[Cheesemaker]

have new rear end it that does not need the wheel spacers it also has the blue flame truss kit on it to make it more soild

but the main problem right now is i am thinking about junking the cab and exo cage and building a http://hendrixmotorsports.com/_wsn/page3.html as it fits my interest better

[gotrocks]

nooooo, build a cab with the exo.  I really don't understand the whole f-toy thing.  If you are going to go that far just build a real buggy

Thank you GotRocks! I completely agree.
