Are you concerned about the "unibody" setup? I don't see no frame and it appears you have everything bolted to the plastic. How much does the rig weigh? Everything looks sick, it's just the strength of the plastic that's bothering me. My very first built was like yours and i ended up cracking the body and wore out a couple bolt holes.

well the cage is pretty much complete just need to figure out some mounting locations for the bottom.i tried as much as i could to match the roof of sally but this is a short wheelbase rig so it looks funny,plus no dovetail.or maybe cause im tired of looking at this thing. but heres some pics.
ediit:power outage last night,couldnt upload till now
