The firewall is quite thin but we purposely landed the joint up high on the firewall to use the strength the kick panel floor vents create. 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.
