| The exocage is a really cool idea. Crawler stuff. front suspension at the very least. To hell with the seatbelt- get a harness. | |

Instead of the hold front part coming off like all of the front tubing I think ill just make the tubes that go over the engine removable. like a hood made out of tubes. id just pull the motor up and out | |

Agreed! No need to have all that steel in there- it can still be insanely strong with much less weight. | |

Remember you have to build what you draw afterwards. So you may want interlocking lines (pipes). So easy base, start, is 4 pipes length wise. The rest should be for strength and support. | |
