Casey,
Looks like your going to have one sweet car that will be a beast! Billy is great to deal with! Going keep a eye on this.

We recently took the car back apart after doing a rough mock up with the Carbon parts. It's now on the jig so that we have a perfectly square starting point for doing metal work. Quite a bit of metal has been cut out of the car with more yet to go...

To get it up there we used an Engine Cherry Picker on the backend with a strap running through the taillight openings. One guy guided the cherry picker while my dad and I lifted the front of the car. We will do the same to take it off. I'm tough as nails.

We recently added a frame extenstion to the back half of the chassis and cut out the trunk floor along with the old frame rails. We made a fuel cell frame/guard that will be removable with four bolts. Later we will make the upper straps for the cell when the new floor is in place. One of the next things we are planning is doing metal work in the trunk area. We will also be starting on the full rollcage soon, along with seat and pedal mock up.

Here are some before and after photos of the fuel cell guard and new chassis back half.
