serious game changer....again.

pretty intense body mods Roger.

How do you keep everything (sheetmetal and aspect shapes) square or do you just get it close and perfect it in metal work since you are essentially starting from scratch?

The lay out is the toughest part and then you have to cut it precise. To make the welding easier. I will post pics of it tacked up next week so you can see how precise Broc's cut lines and cuts are to get the best results. It's all just math in getting the layout perfect.

I just saw one of these this morning: maybe four inches of clearance underneath (decently positioned coilovers), two-tone red and gray, sort of pro-street, but not M/T tires. I made sure to turn off the radio and put the windows down, and it sounded like LS, with a manual box. I was wishing I had a dash cam...

I want to say that Ron Sutton has been teasing with the idea (or is in the process) of building a p/t tri-five. Can I smell competition for awesomeness?

Awesome build! Without giving away all of your secrets- would you mind sharing with us what tools and/ or process you use to cut the metal so clean like that?

Sharpie, 4.5" grinder and a straight edge.
