[QUOTE="SomewhiteGuy, post: 365324, member: 6533"] First don't take this a bash, you nailed as these programs are only as good as the knowledge from building you put into them. Designing a full chassis from scratch takes a good bit of time and planning as well as some real world experience on what works and how things lay out dimensionally for example I had already built one buggy from scratch and done countless cages, bumpers, sliders and multiple full build outs when I designed Dirty Girl and we still ended up making a bunch of changes during construction. The pic below is 200+ hours of design time and it was still wrong.

I would start by laying the B pillars back and try not to think like you are building a truck as it will end up looking like a box truck (my first buggy did).
