The Phoenix Build

[snappy]

Left plenty of room in front of the motor for rad and winch mount.

There is about 2 inchs under the tranny pan to the bottom bars when I build the belly pan it will cover the oil pan also. It sits abount one inch above being flush with the bottom bars.

I guess the wife telling you that she doesn't love you anymore and she's leaving makes you realize you just gained and assload of wheeling time and warm weather is not far off. I've been working on this thing more in the last week to keep my mind busy than I have in the last 2 months. Heres a few pics of how the cage is starting to shape up....

Then we started fitting the hood. Its a Lexus is350(I think thats right). It is alum and light as a feather. It will be trimmed up and moved back about 6" towards the rear.
