I bought another Rampage today for some parts but its nicer than mine... I was giving it thought about cutting up the parts one but I'll stick with the original one and just pull the parts I need... glad to be back so I can get back to work on it... got to set the engine back in to check a few mock up points on the steering... I did quite a few drawings of different things on it while on vacation

btt this is an intresting build for sure:) just a noviceQuestion since i never built a complete car from basicly nothing, why taking the engine in and out for mockup, when you could just leave it in its mounts leving it in lace would seem like a much easier way
hey i know all about that part about making drawing when being away all the best ideas are always on my mind when im not even close to the car 
There isnt any mounts in the car at this time... I
need to check so steering clearance on the rack to
see if it will clear the front of the crank and pulley
plus the engine just gets in the way

I got the front end just about done(still need to weld) but it looks pretty decent and I checked all the movements and everything looks good... I started to do some welding today but I need to cut 1 more tube and get it into place before I can burn it together on the front.... but I ordered up a couple more hole saws and they wont be here till Monday

last... I was just seeing if I wanted it lower or not today so I can set the rear height... I still have a oil pan and trans pan that are some what low and still need exhaust under it... I believe if I can keep the exhaust up tight I can have 4" of clearance
