Default SCX 10 Buggy Build. *Pic intensive*

A friend of mine MATT ELLERBEE got me into this hobbie. He has a scx-10 with a yota hard body cab and a homemade flatbed. So he found me a scx-10 roller from thus sight and we decided to try and build our first buggy/truggy.
Please keep in mind thus was the first time either of us have brazed. I know its ugly brazing.
Day one
Sliders and stared cab. Uploaded from the Photobucket Android App

Day 2
Worked on rear and front. Made a front hoop to go around a grill from one of my son's old cheap rc hummer. Experimented with beer cans for a skin. Any advice on how to wrap it or connect it?

Not to bad for two people not having a clue to what they're doing!

Looking good, nice first attempt,
For those skins, try wraping the can around the bar then ziptie it on with the smallest ones you can find.

I had easy access to some really thin sheet metal. It worked great. Thanks for the ideal.

Day 4.
Made body panels out of sheet metal. Brazed some mounts to the cage so I could bolt on the panels .

Thanks. It does sit a little too far back. But i cut it back that far because i plan on running 2.2s. Might fix it.
