so its time for a new project and i wanted to make a cage that looked exactly like the mt body or similiar to a desert truck i seen scaremongers thread on his Mt cage and i think he used lexan sheets with zip ties to make the body panels i wanted to do the same to mine,so i took 5/16th mild steel round bar and used the mt plastic body as kind of a template to bend up the steel, the cage bolts to the chassis at the stock holes and bolts from shock tower to shock tower it also sits right on the side rails of the chassis for added strenght, man this things soo heavy but im not concerned with weight this time so i went all out with windows, braces, wheel wells, and a desert truck bed, the bed I made to stick out alittle further to look more scale and real, im going to add bumpers to the front and back that bolt to the stock bumper holes then i will add lots of bracing and maybe a bracket for headlights, im still working on it and adding bracing to make it "bulletproof" as it progresses i will add more pictures .. here's a few pictures so far what i got...
