      Really happy to watch your build of the roll cage since I will be doing one in mine in about a month or so. We actually have some similar concepts for our cars like corvette front suspension and turning the hood louvers into heat extractors. The car looks awesome (as if you guys would do it any other way...)

      What kind of engine is that behind you guys in those last few pics?

      I love it!! Great build! The metal work is fantastic. A shame to hide it under the paint.
