My suggestion is to contact Mike Maier at www.maierracing.com. He did all the work and he can give you an idea. Sorry not to give you a dollar amount. I had a lot of work done by Mike and I do not know the breakdown of just the cage.

We spent this week reworking the left side fender flare to match our final product on the right side. The flares have been reworked a few times, each time getting better and better until we got what we wanted. Here are some photos showing the flare on the left side that we did not like and what we ended up with to have matching flares that we are very happy with.

Old flare:









Final results that we are happy with:

I think the word aggressive doesn't quite do it justice......

Not even baby-eating either... it could consume medium-sized children with little effort.

We have been doing all the little things to finalize the body before paint. Of course, we did a few more things we did not count on. We did not like the cowl hood with the large spine down the center. It was also a bit uneven from the mold. The drivers side of the cowl was cut down and we made the top flat with a small body line down the center. The front nose is also near completion. All the lines where the nose pieces butt up against the fenders and nose extention are bonded and seams removed. The fiberglass deck lid with the molded spoiler was also modified. We added reinforcement to the spoiler and gave it more of a finished look.
A variety of other small custom items have been added.

Here is the hood before the modification



Grinding down the raised body line









Primed after modification



Deck lid modification








Big front meats under the new flare



More to come next week

Brian,

I searched but didn't find it. Can you tell us what those hood latches are? Those look pretty interesting.

Thanx!
