Wow!! Great body and cage work, that is going to look awesome when it gets banged up. What thickness metal did you use, what does it way in it's current state. Once again great job!

Thanks Bro. I'm thinking of building a detailed 1/5 scale rock racer with a gas powerplant. Hope the budget would not be an issue anymore.

Thanks! For the body, its a gauge 16 metal sheet, very easy to mold compare to other thicker sheets, yet strong since the molds gives additional strength. For the cage, its made up of 1/4 and 3/16 steel tube.
