some updates i should have posted a few weeks ago, cage is in, here are a few progress pics, its painted now but need to untape and get better pics, we also got his newly widened rear rims back from forgeline, also got the toyo r888 in.
waiting on nitrous, and fuel cell to finish up mid mount cell, this thing should go decent once we had some happy gas.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

No diagonal bar Vin?
Looks like they got all tucked in nice and tight. Did they have to pull the headliner?True T.

no diag bar, vinny is having a killer interior put in the car at a later date and he drives the hell out of it so we left it out, the stereo or interior guy would hate me. Once done with interior etc we will add a few things especially whenhe starts racing more. Originally Posted by Damn True

The cage in the car now will keep him safe at current speed levels, we will modify as he does.
