When is this turd headed over to get the cage welded in? Season opener is only 25 weeks away!

Hopefully tomorrow, waiting on a call from him today to set up a time.

Update!: So American Gasser here in Saginaw Mi pick up the jav a week ago and already got the 8pt cage pretty much welded in. Looks great and turned out way better than i thought a semi pre bent cage would be. Need to get it home clean n scuff the interior so i can throw another coat of primer on.

I should drive it around like this! no fenders, no hood, no doors. Looks rugged!

I did that with my build. It was a blast until I got shot in the face with rocks off the tires. At least put in the front window. That would have been nice for me. I like the build so far too!

Lol I bet! I’m a bike guy so I have had my share of June bugs to the eye socket lol

Update on the Jav: So after getting it back i wanted to finalize the drive line angle so i could tack the motor mounts together and fab up some sort of trans cross member. I was slowly taking chunks out of the trans tunnel but ended up completely cutting the tunnel out because the bell housing bolts were rubbing by the firewall. After making some spacers for the cross member the engine block and trans are finally sitting pretty. Also threw on the left header to see how it fits and looks like cylinder 1 runs right where my I-shaft is going to connect to the manual rack. So if anyone has any recommendations for long tubes that really hug the block i would appreciate it.

You could always mark out where the I-shaft is on the primary, and heat it up to tap it in a little. I assume you plan on recoating the headers?

Yea might have to ding them up a bit if i cant find some that fit.

Been working on the Jav the last couple weeks trying to weld in the 4 link conversion and man what a pain that was. Finally got everything to measure out and started tack welding it in. Finally on all 4's!
