[QUOTE="Diamond B, post: 333581, member: 4484"] Its about time for an update on the BUSTED BUDGET Build. We finally figured out how to section and clearance the frame. We ended up using a piece of 8" C channel to bridge the gap.

We still have to tie the shock hoop into the C-pillar of the cage but that should finish the rear end until paint time.
