It does look like fun building up something custom to drift/thrash out in the deserts together! 8)

Got the front clip rough trimmed. Probably need to open up the wheels openings a little more, but I will wait till its permanently mounted to do that. Gor a few more bars in the cage also. Once the cage is done then I will get the doors painted, mounted, and aligned. Then the front clip and rear fenders can get mounted and finished.

Got the door bars in, also the rear hoop and torsion supports. Hope to have the cage completely done in the next few days. Then I can get the doors done and on the car.

D, that's pretty damn cool. I've been looking for a fiberglass front end for the Baja Squared project, too. They're not all that common, even in SoCal.

Well to tell the truth, I am using autometer tach and speedo in the 2 outside holes in the dash, and the latge center hole will get 2 smaller 2 5/8" guages on top of each other. I will post pics when I get to that part of the build. And thanks for the dash pieces Mike!!! 8)

Front bumper is done, just need to get some aluminum for a skid plate and make the front hood mounts, then the front clip get a coat of shiney.

So very cool! Fun watching the progress. Thanks for posting the pix.

Well a little progress, got the front clip painted today, and finished the spare tire mount and skid plate the last few days. Next will be the rear bumper and rear fenders.

And here it is with the front clip on it.......

Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:30 pm

Can one person take that clip off to get at the spare by themself?
That is a nice mount for the spare BTW.

Sat Sep 05, 2009 5:20 pm

It can be done with one person, but its a lot better with 2. Hopefully I will never have to fine out. 8)

Put some handles on it near the pins.
