[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 303803, member: 1384"] I'm impressed with it. Pretty much exactly what I planned to build. The chassis has a lot more "shape" to it in person than a lot of the pics make it look like. As in, the roof tapers in from rear to front, "firewall" area is a bit narrower than the shoulder area, sides are angled out, then roof is angled in. The lower link mounts/subframe are exactly what I hoped for. Of course with this design, the links don't have "as much" triangulation as some other chassis, but it still has plenty to work fine. The layout is very open and comfortable while still being compact in all the right areas for a trail rig. And I got to check out the other rig he is building up with the bead rolled tin work. It's really nice. He told me the guys name he's building it for but I forgot, it is coming to TN though so I'm sure it'll be on the trail pretty soon. Overall it was initially a hard decision to buy a chassis when I have all the tools (better tools in some cases) than a lot of shops, I just don't have the time (or experience/skills), I work too slow (change my mind too much, hell, I've already changed tires and haven't even started the build...), and I'm not sure I could execute a full chassis that would look as good as what I got. Now I just got to hang all the parts, interior (will be stone simple), plumb and wire it! :eek: We discussed a couple other things that I might decide to use on this to make it a bitchin trail rig and stick to the Ford roots of it (think custom cushy PRP bench seat) :afro: [/QUOTE]
