Thanks strtcar!

I've been working on plans and design stuff and I am really happy with how things are working out. I have countless hours in little details that will show up later in the build.

I figured out today that my plan to hide the roll cage in plain sight is working perfectly. I think I can get the rear down down tubes to pass inside the main body, meaning they won't be hanging out in mid-air going from the main hoop into the bed. From first glance, you'll be able to pick up clues that there is a full cage, and find more and more of it as you look deeper. The front bars will be exposed (running on either side of the motor), the rear down tubes will be visible inside the bed poking out of the body (when you get close enough to see in it), and a little of the front hoops running down behind the windshield posts will be seen. Just enough combined with the wheel/tire combo, and IFS, to let people know that there's something more sinister going on.
