looks good, i gotta subscribe to this!!
 






thanks guys, its slowly coming around.

wont get much much done today. the garage is a mess because i havent had much time to really do alot at once so the mess just keeps stacking up. so its time to clean.
 






alright, i started cutting on the driver side and kept walking past the passenger side. the more i looked at it the more i was liking it so the plasma came back out. it turned out 100x better then before. i cut 4 more inches out of it too and raised it.

this is incredible $%$@$#%@#$^&
 






Thanks going to try and match the front fenders to the rear. Also going to tie the exo into the fenders and the frame along with solid body mounts.
 






:scratch: I'm having trouble imagining how you will build the rear of it

:exp::exp:
 






Not sure yet. I'll figure something out tonight.
 






fixed my problem....sorta.

Of course there's still some Explorer there....

I think there is some explorer left there.... not sure though.....:D

Of course there's still some Explorer there. Look at the door handles in #32! :roll::cool:

Really cool build. I'll bet it'll be harder to keep up the pace when your baby arrives.

not a whole lot left in the back, just 6 inches of sheetmetal.

yea its going to be a challenge but if things still work out right i will still have between the time i get off work and the time my wife gets off work to gt some progress....usually about 2 hours


I hope the intentional sarcasm was received.... I know it's an x... but with all his plasma cuttin lately I felt the need for some sarcasm.

Don't get me wrong his skills are way beyond my level of expertise.

im by far no expert thats for sure.
 






And if your wondering why I cut so much out....


Here's my ranger I sold to start on this project.

I'm a fan of getting rid of sheet metal.

Drop yours off with a thick checkbook and I can make it happen!
