Post Tuber/chassis??

hey, i spent most of this week at the coast, which gave me plenty of time to play with my Crawler ,

the rig is performing really well, but after watching some Top truck challenge videos i really want to get give my rig either a tuber chassis or some sort of tuber body that will bolt onto my twin vertical plate chassis or new tuber chassis,

ive wanted to do this for ages, Anyone got any photos of there rigs with (homemade) tuber type cage's/chassis, i really want to build one myself as i have welding and brazing equipment and good engineering knowledge

my rig is a 1/10th scale 2.2, it's a maverick scout built by Hpi racing (bit more poppular in Uk

I admire anyone who has the ability to work small tube like that intoa realistic shape. Some times you just gotta go for it and give it a try, I know it's not for me (cuz I really just don't want to do it) but we all have our talents. Tube work on this scale in NOT it for me.
