Wow.

I might just have to splurge on a tig setup here shortly due to the awesome cage builds I keep coming across here...

Hindsight, I would have bought a TIG setup. I bought the MIG setup and self taught myself because I was tired of grinding for hours with my crappy flux wire welder.

I got one of those grills mounted up on my cherokee, I recommend trimming the grill section of the body out and installing an exo radiator in behind, it will look awesome believe me!

Steel. Not sure if Ill leave it bare or paint it. Depends on the body when I get it back from JWalker.

Painter is painting the grill area of the body black but that is a good idea too.

Here is how it looks currently, I just made a styrene surround for the radiator and to mount it up to. I have also run it in the past with fly screen mesh between the metal grill and the rad which also adds a nice touch. I'll post a pic up of it if I can find one

Trailing arms, Now you tell me.

It's a mix between the 1700 and 3700 Jeepspeed classes. This one will be able to hit the trail or track.
