Nice job. You even added the 5 lug nuts to the wheels.

| Updates Began dovetailing the ole TEEJAY....well it's pretty much done... just have some patching up to do. what do you guys think about wheel wells? should i just build my own out of styrene?     Also, finally got around to building a (proper) 4 link truss for it. Front one isn't started yet. (need to make new links (unbent) and braze servo and panhard tabs on the chassis first).  AND, i found out that you CAN braze with propane rather efficiently. This joint was made using harris 56 and a propane torch. The tubes were at a 90* angle and i tried pulling them apart with vise grips to test the strength. The tubing failed before the joint did... so... propane = success!  Getting ready to build a cage for it tonight. INSPIRATION: (i apologize if you see your rig on here. I would give credit where it's due but I forget whose pictures i nabbed...)     There was another one that i'll probably straight up copy but i forget where i found the image... it'll probably be a mixture of the 2nd and 3rd pics. what do you guys think? |

Well i finally got around to building a damn cage for this thing! got the back half 90% done today. Just need to braze a support from the very back end to the plate holding the the rear of the body together.   Things are a teeny bit crooked because i don't have a tube bender, but i'm happy with how it came out so far.     The cage will be done as soon as i pick up another stick of brakeline.  does anyone have any ideas as to how to go about mounting the front part of the cage to the body? i thought about brazing small tabs and then jamming them between the doors and dash and running a bolt through it... how do people normally mount it ? does anyone have any detail pics they'd like to share? hrrmm?  |

All I did in that area (dash) was to flatten the tube (brakeline) and drill though it for a 3mm bolt. I did use a washer with the nut on the body side. It has held up great so far. Here is a crappy pic<, it was hard to aim at where the bolt is with everything assembled.  |

| Boggers arrived!
Well after impatiently waiting for 1 month, my boggers finally came in! testing out some larger pictures...    Now i have to stretch the wheelbase a little bit... front tires rub the fenders and the rear of the wells. hopefully straight links will fix that |
