Hey gez,
Looking great!
We all admire your work and drive.
Sure would like to see more pictures from you when you post. Both long shots and close ups.
One picture just leaves us wanting to see more.

Hey gez,
What is the thickness of the rectangular tubing you used? I made several attempts on making the front arms before I was satisfied and ended up with 1/4 inch thick wall rectangular tubing. In my opinion these are most likely the most critical parts of the Tumbler. A crash computer simulation once done on the Tumbler showed a front arm failure at speed would pull the vehicle to one side, 45-90 degrees, and roll the Tumbler on it's side, over one or more times, depending on the forward speed. Even, the original Tumbler front end had to be rebuilt stronger after a small jump collapsed the front end. Just a few thoughts. All that said, your build is looking magnificent. It really is a pleasure to see all Shaggy's design work coming to be in reality. vertigo

That's pretty awesome. I knew Shaggy would prove to be useful one day.
