I can see it is all tacked and would be full welded at a future point once full built, just did not know how far you would disassemble to fully weld.

I understand what you asking and we will remove that tube when we know the customer likes everything and fully weld that seam. We have it handled. I think

No problem, I understand the direction, just observing the progress and enjoying the show. Thanks for clarifying.

Sweet build I should start one for my build

Nice, alway wanting to see cool purpose-built cars.
Will there be any update on the OLC? Been seeing a lot of progress on FB,but nothing on the forums.

Rodger and Broc have been doing a great job on the cage for the OLC2. I was worried about the FIA bar at the front but the NASA Rally Sport tech director gave us some good advice and I think that it came out really well. There are a few bars left to go - roof, harness, and footwell - and then the taco gussets and some miscellaneous support bars and then we should be ready to weld everything up.

I've been mulling over doing an update thread for the OLC but I figured that everyone probably needed a break from the '67 for a while so I've kept the changes pretty quiet. It's a few weeks from being back on the ground but I'm really happy with what Dick and the guys at Best of Show have been able to do. OLC.R should be on the track in a month or two...

Cheers

Most full custom cages get mocked up and tacked into place then a weld order gets established before it is all fully welded. It takes a lot of planning for a cages system especially as elaborate as this one. If not done right will make more work and wasted tubing later. If done properly some sections can be removed or disconnected from the chassis to be welded.

Looking forward to seeing more of the RS.R Camaro. I've said it before, but you guys are definitely pushing the envelope.

As for the OLC, I'm looking forward to the day that is back on the road too. It isn't the lightest car on earth, and I'm tired of being enlisted to help push it around. I would comment about how it is looking, but I'm not Dick or Jon

I don't want to mess up this thread with pics of the other car. Maybe I'll try to get something together this weekend or next.

I was going to hint at a couple of things but to be honest... the changes are probably not as minor as I make them out to be.

Fixed it for ya!

James, do a phase two stand alone thread like Steve-O did w Penny. As cool as OLC is will be a fun read
