maybe you already know this...and just haven't gotten that far?

in any case, keep goin! looks great!

this doesn't have a lot of holes, but you can see what i mean...
Right on Zach thanks! once I get the shape finalized I wiil look were I need to drill out the buck, but for now it might be a distraction to eye. I actually welded struts from the axle to the frame so it can't sag the suspension under the weight.

Did you make any drawings before you started or do you make it up as you build the buck?
Im not using a concept drawing, the progress is as much a surprise for me as it is for you!
