I was a bit baffled by the fuel cell at first, thinking The General was a production car, but now I see it was a full-fledged, off-road race car! What a build!

You can see here the near complete right front with nothing on the spindle. I am leaving the frame this colour because I believe it to be a good base to show off all of the other detail once it is in place.

getting the ribs and stiffeners fashioned to complete the cage.

The driver side of the cage is done for the most part. The only work left to do are all of the gussets and fixtures for mounting body work and ancilleries.
