Rally/Desert Cage Build...

[spalind]

The name for the build is Project RetroRunner and is modeled after the mid to late 80's factory Nissan Hardbody team with drivers such as Roger Mears and Spencer Low among others. The platform for the project is a moder '09 Frontier. Much of the sheetmetal has already been replaced with fiberglass and it has a color scheme update to portray those factory efforts. The cage build is now underway...

door bars, dash bar and more went in today. Made some minor changes in the design but nothing significant. It is really moving faster than I would have imagined now...
