So here is where i'm at now. dont worry about the hood fitting. The tubes are straight, the hood is not  . The volvo has a KOH look to it, which i like.I still need to figure out what to do with the rear. It looks FUGY IMO     |

I say on the back where the side bars come into the back put a bar there and leave it. For the KOH style make a light bar on top. Leave the windows and make some window nets, they would look badass there. Get some panels to go across the sides and for the top of the cage do what you want! Looks great IMO

besides the front upper links and tires, its a roller!  built the new front shock mounts  Then i cut out the bottom of the chassis and flipped it around.  When the new shocks arrive, this is the stance  |
