Are you making a flat fender or a cj5? Looks like you are off to a great start, are you gonna make it more of a rock buggy with extreme suspension and all that or leaf springs? You can check my cj5 build out, it's call "Good old CJ5" in 1.9 section. Looks awesome so far.

MMOORREE
1/10 FRAME ITS a yj frame but i like the curve it the back better than the hard bends in the cj



next to all of it



welded up and i got real worryed when i saw the width in the back because it looked like it was to wide so i printed out a top view of it then realized that my first mesument was of the frount of the hood and thats narower than the body so it turned out perfect for i change.



i am mocking my self

Cage work is fun

new tip and someone can you tell me where to put this tip

ok when makeing a cage if you start with more than you need on the ends you can weld two peices of rod together then when you bend it in the vice you will make two of the same peice at the same time so its faster and they are the same.

pics to help

Awesome cage!!! Its fits the build really good, pretty extreme looking but is a realistic and believable cage on a older jeep. Great job, I might have to steal some ideas for my cj5 project.
