Re: XD drag project

motor was recessed 50 mm, the cage was in the cab when I got the ute, although we did cut the floor out and replace it. When we did this we cut around where the cage was plated to the original floor and put in the new one and then welded this to the cage as well.
As for the back, make sure you brace it up or it will sag and twist.
we ran a X brace from the cab cage to the top of the clip.
I used 1mm aluminium for the top on the back of the ute, to shape I used 10mm box steel and put a slight bow in it the same as the side of the ute, this was my template.
A lot more accurate than placing the sheet on top and trying to draw around it.
but this is a long way off
