How do you cover that up? It will be a shame to cover that in dynama and carpet. Like with Jasons, just clear coat it and run a la naturaal.

Beautiful!!!!!

The floor is on page 27-1/2. You just have to look hard to find it!

Thanks. Knowing us, there will be an equal amount of time that goes into laying out the Dynamat so all labels are positioned properly and seams are all alligned! Then we can cover both with carpet! That is the great part about this site. We can showcase some of the things that generally wouldn't be seen when the car is completed.

Yes, the exhaust runs along the sides. There is a picture earlier in the thread showing the exhaust inplace before the floor was fabbed.

Here are a few progress shots on the roll cage. The goal was to keep it really tight to the body and as out of sight as possible from the outside of the car.

We also final mounted the front end this week. Nothing really special, just good to see it take shape again.



The NRE engine looks so good in there!

So how do you guys plan to finish the interior with the cage so close to the body? Are you going to be able to use a typical panel or come up with something else? I've always wondered how to balance having a cage out of the way but still have room to get panels and roof in place.

Basically same question as above. I am in the process of installing a cage in my Mustang and was wondering how you finish (paint?) the cage when it is that tight to surrounding panels. Thanks
