Started this last week. Kept the frame, but decided to modify it a bit. Here is where I am at right now.... Not sure if the engine will be kept or not...

Great looking build so far. I'm digging the work you've done. I know I should wait and see, but my remembery isn't what it used to be and I may miss a crucial step if i don't check back at the right time. Anywho...my question is, what are the aluminum tubes for on the rear and front of the frame? I figured in the rear that it would be for an airbag set-up, but in the front they are too close to the engine to be for bags. What's up?

I would say it's the same for the front as on a 1:1 you have to effectively tub the front as well to get it this low,which means pushing the suspension setup further inboard.
