Some more photos of my project, Roof Rack fabrication and test fitting

Looking good keep up the pictures.

Maybe your front body mounts.

Looks like you have a strong case. Maybe get a crashed one from them that the drive train is all good. Do a swap and have lots of spare parts. But that’s a ton of work.

🤣🤣🤣 super cool if I wasn’t working on this project that would be a fun one to build.
