Ahmad good idea.

I thought it was better than duct tape

So I use the same clamps from HF so I made up something similar .... works good thanks for the tip!!

Thanks, the fitment is really close and that makes it a whole lot easier to fine tune!

Here is some pixs, still need to fine tune the angle for the main hoop (85 degrees) and bend the plates for the floor.


Made some clamps to hold her in place!

Rear window is in place ... plenty of clearance!

Kickers tuned to fit the connectors!

Better view ... looking cool!


There's tomorrow for the rest (1) fine tune the trunk drops (2) bend all the plates to fit (3) get help to take off the roof so I don't taco the roof (4) start welding!!!!

This is time consuming to get it fit really nice, but it's paying off fer sure!

Thanks for looking ....

It looks good!

Cage looks really good, nice work. Just a note, if you think there may be some racing in your future with NASA or SCCA, you might want to take a look at the rules for the cage before you finish up. For a race spec cage, the rear downbars can not have any bends in them for instance.

Thanks Wayne .... since you have a Nor'easter and we are 70 degrees I would do a little color selection and get outa the garage.

Thanks for the heads up .... I don't plan on any racing the Camaro in classes, just being prepared for the worst and the best handling I can get!


So, since its so nice out I figured I'd spray some color and narrow down a color choice .... not an easy task fer sure.

Anyway, here is a matte blue that is interesting, I might try a grey also ...
The extension was not body shaped, just in primer, the dent will buff out

What dent?

hehe

Man, can't believe the progress you have been making. It is always good to switch channels and do some painting to kind of unwind after being neck deep in fabbing, and other demanding parts of a project.

Hey that dent, your are right about taking a break from fabbing ... and thanks!

Well, picked a couple more colors today and sprayed the extension again ... the grey is alright but the blackblue may be the ticket.

Got the roof off, fabbed up the floor plates, cleaned all the mill scale and rust off the roll bars ... looks kick azz in brushed, may just clear over this!!

Gonna work on the truck plates, had to put in the tubs to check clearance ... then some heat!

Take a look ...













More work tonight after dinner, gotta mock the trunk bars and bend the plates ..... there is always something!

Thanks for looking ....
