So there is a really strong section these massive joints weld to on both sides of the firewall. granted it is no where near what a 10-12 point cage would be. But this car will be driven 99.9 percent of the time with out a helmet and if you have not heard me soap box session about rollcages in street cars, I will save you. Its on here quite a few times.

Well done. Chassis looks amazing. Really love the dash! Great job as always.

The clock is winding down. Del Mar is just a few weeks away.

We have the chassis ready to go under the body. I usually hate installing a body on the chassis when it looks so good.

I like frames like that that are just total function but in the function it just looks so ready for business.

That looks bad ass

You're right, that's just too beautiful to put a body on it. Like looking at Playboy when I used to sneak and do it when I was about 10-12 years old. :hairpullout:

That's awesome, just bolt a seat on it and go

I would love to misspell your name AL, but there is no way.


And Yes AL we plan to have it at Del Mar. Not complete with interior, but complete enough to hopefully autocross.
