Thanks guys! What they lack in experience they are making up in innovation. What till you see what they are up to next.
Here are a few progress pics. My buddy Kevin at HM Racing Design helped the boys with the roll bar and bumpers. They specialize in $500,000 Trophy trucks, so this was a cake walk for them.
Replaced the front and rear bumper which are made from sheet metal with chromoly tubing and dropped over 30 lbs.
They also tied in the mounting points for the rad off the new bumper. From the inside of the engine bay, the rad will have a floating look to it.
Since they got rid of the rear seat, they were able to mount the main hoop on the ledge were the rear seat would normally be. This allowed to set it back were you can't see it from the side view. All the other bars we've seen, come off the floor by the front seats, so they are always visible.

Check out how the down bar came down just above the rear solid mount. The secondary bar fall right above the strut mount solidifying the rear section. Finished it up with a gusset and small dimple.
For future planning, they welded in the mounting plates for the front down bar in case they want to go the a full cage down the road.
Filler panel for passenger side of the firewall. This is were the factory cabin filter use to be.
Gas filler is being relocated to the trunk.
This is a preview of things to come. They have gotten rid of 30 lbs of metal bracing that was there to support the rear seats.
