Axletech International - Portals
I personally just found out about the Portals today! These should be built to support the extra 1000+ lbs up front.

I dont want to call your masterpiece ugly but it needs something to finish the line back there. even a bedlined roll-over painted black might finish the line or add enough relief.

I think a tube the same width as the rock sliders (if your going tubular like the rendering) would finish the line.

We have some good shots of the progress made the past few days. The fire wall was cut back to make room for the motor/trans and is sitting in place. This should give you an idea of how large this motor really is compared to the stock 3.8L.
Now that we have a rough idea of where the motor needs to sit, we can begin the process of reinforcing the frame, adding motor mounts and so on... This was a big step in the right direction.
