I feel stupid because I had my GoPro mounted but not filming for it.

Some damage to the cage from the roll.The two main issues were the passenger side A to B overhead bar bowed in a little and theres a pretty good dent in the Overhead B-pillar connector. Some of the overhead spreaders have some good rockrash to them, enough that I may weld them up and grind smooth again.

Not sure if I will repalce either of the dented tubes yet or wheel with them until the cage is showing a little more wear. I'm a little tired of tubework at the moment :lol2:

Also I will be swithching to a new fuel cell that fits in the chassis better and takes up less space. Picking up a few sheets of aluminum tomorrow for rear fenders, rear firewall, floor, and probably roof.

Badass, post some pictures of how the rear inner fenders turn out. Should be slick if you do it the way you planned.

agreed but I wanted to make them using half of the sheet so I would be left with more than just oddball shapes. They're not fitted up as nicely as they could be, but it only cost <$30 as opposed to using most of the useful portions of a $70 sheet, so I will deal with it.

I was just busting your balls. It looks real good dude. I can't wait to check it out in person when you get back.
