Thanks guys.... I want to have the rear in place in about a week or so.... the rear of the body sure can use some stiffening so it doesnt flop around... one thing I want to do is get some Lexan so I can put the upper rear bars through the Lexan then weld the bars in place(that way I wont have any slits in it)

You're making good progress, Raff! You've got, what, another 4 solid months left to get it done, with some time left to drive it around to de-bug it before the big drive. It's going to be a cool and quick street ride, for sure! 
To be honest I dont think we are going this year...
its a ton of money just to get your name in the mag
if your lucky... my buddy and me sat down and did some
figures on the whole week deal and we sure didnt like
the price(and thats if nothing goes wrong).... but
you never know
Tony she wanted to take some pics so I figured I'd
get one with her in there

Well, that takes the pressure off to get it done by September, and lets you take your time and enjoy the process of building it.
We still have the idea to go if at all possible but
the cost is pretty damn high... we figure it would
cost us $1500 each if we take just 1 car and about
$2000 each if we take 2 cars... again thats if nothing
goes wrong

You were just complaining about it being too expensive! Make up your mind! 
Should I have said IF funds allow... I still have
a fair bit of change to spend just to finish the car

I got the back end ready but I have to pull it apart so I can drop the chassis out... or I could cut the back wall straight down and keep the whole thing in tack lacking the 2 upper bars that go through the back window opening... here's a couple pics of where it stands now

There's a couple shorter lengths of tubing that need to go in 1 on each side from the tube that goes to the back, I will put a short one from there to the upper shock area then I'll put in a tube from the front X area to the lower tube just for some added strength..... but its pretty much it... need to drop the chassis and start getting ALL the welding done.... I put the rear X brace in because I plan on towing a trailer and the back quarters needed the stiffness

Holy smokes- with all that tubing in the box you're going to have to put a roof rack on that thing!
I agree that I never thought a Rampage could be so cool
Well it wont have a bed anymore... I'm putting alum
diamond plate across the top of the bed on the 2 rails
with a hinged rear section to get to the fuel tank
