OK cut the sides of the tub and bent them. Also have the center brace, and grabbed a piece of scrap aluminum for the inside wall of the battery compartment.
I also figured out where I'm going to put the front mount for the body. I'm going to screw it onto the piece of plastic that connects the front diff case to the steering servo saver set. I put JB weld in it to try and make a solid surface to drill into. I'm going to let it sit for a few days.

Seeing some people might want to know how I went about it I traced the actual metal chassis onto a 1X3 piece of woof and cut out the 2 sides as copies. (pic below) I then took a hammer and whacked it till it formed a close shape than took it off the mold and bent it a teeny bit further so it went flush to the mold.

I then layed it out on the chassis to check the lengths. the one side (labeled S1) is a bit too long and I'm going to have to cut it down a tiny bit more in the rear. But hell its actually starting to look like a buggy pan chassis
Next step trying to weld(Brazing) the pieces together. This is the only step I have doubts about working.
