I have a feeling/ light flashed maybe will change original design now..

Noticed yesterday if dont put filters inside front fascia I can fill it with coolers. Double size air to air IC than was before, giant oil cooler etc.
Looks have maybe enough room keep air filters close to turbo between lower and upper main tubes and control arms. Maybe.
Will get GTX42 for fitment test soon.

No in plans..
A pillar roll cage tube joins to shock cups plus will add few more supporting tubes.

Awesome stuff Toumas! Your trans case is eye popping to say the least.

One question; why did you decide to stay with the stock wheel wells running the tube frame? Not knocking just asking.

I mounted/glued a pair on my stock frame and wished I could have gotten rid of them. Wish I had access to the shop/materials you have, I know I would have come up with a way to mount the fenders and lights.

Great work! Keep the pics coming!!

Thanks Nick!
I keep shop temperature at around 65-70 F all the time. Can you imagine, couple of weeks summer time need to use air condition keep temperature enough low for working

lol! I've had a set modeled up like that on my computer for a while now and haven't had any made. Idea being that it eliminated the majority of warping at the flange Very cool stuff!
