D60 is out back, 14bolt is on its way to the shop, artec trusses ordered up. the 6.0 will most likely be hard mounted to the chassis, and everything should be located under the rig in a week or so.

There is one on Ebay right now with an all steel body. A Mini Eb would be cool as hell.

Looks like an offroad smart car.

We are finally working on it this week. Had a hiccup with the chassis that ARR lined right out for us, Bill and Chris over there are good folks to work with!

Its set back in place and we are finish welding the axle trusses today and getting ready to cut motor mounts. Once its hanging and sitting at ride height Ill post pics...probably mid next week!
