More tubes:

The tube that goes across the front of the windshield is bent and notched, just needs a little more trimming to fit in. The first 60' of DOM tube is now all used on the car. Probably going to need an extra 60'-80' to finish up the entire cage structure.

Mocked up one of the front wheels:

Alex measured the cams. Since it's a single point measurement on the lobe itself, the values are really only useful for a rough estimate of duration and lift. More conventional values for duration and things like acceleration profiles would require a better setup.

The cage fit up is lookin good.Love the body style and build.

Are you going to raise the wheel wells or are you just gonna run it like that?

Thanks! I'm really happy with how the cage is coming together, especially considering neither my brother or I have ever built a cage before.

Do you mean the wheel arches?

LOL! Yes. The wheel arches. I put a lot of new wheel wells in cars. Gets stuck in the brain.

Haha, no problem.

The wheel arches are staying that way, at least that's the plan now. I think the tuck looks good.

The tuck looks awesome... if you can get enough supension droop to get that back wheel off :unibrow:


Jeff-

Heh, that's the crux of the situation. We'll have to see how it plays out. Thanks!

My brother started digging in to the steering rack. A rebuild kit is on order and he turned new stainless gland nuts that hold the central steel tube onto the aluminum ends. The old ones were pretty trashed. He also cut the old rack mounts off and turned the aluminum parts down to a uniform diameter in order to accept a new, more stable mounting solution:

He also made a spanner wrench to aid in assembly:

this build is off the hook!! so much creativity and engineering knowledge, this is truly a one off build:thumbsup:
