haha ya. It's awesome to work on them all year round. I can't do the a-arms because the po that built the cage didn't build it strong enough. And I don't have the money to redo it at the time so I'm just going with a biggr beam for now. But i will back for the a-arms for sure!! My dads buddy is a machinist and can practically show me how to do anything so I'm sure he would help me withthe arms. I have used solid works and autocad to draw them up to!

Awesome you're doing that stuff when you're 15. I wish I started doing that level of work, then.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome baja. Keep it up.. and keep posting pics.
