71 Javelin Road Racer Build

[Bulletpruf]

After doing quite a bit of research on fabrication/road racing shops, I decided to go with Piper Motorsports in Sterling, Virginia (www.pipermotorsports.com). Piper is a well-known outfit, no shortage of positive comments on their work, and haven't been able to find anyone who had anything negative to say about them. It's a very professional outfit with a nice shop, too, and fabrication on road racing cars is what they do for a living; not an afterthought.

Piper installed a complete custom cage (to NASA American Iron Specs) in 1.75" x .120 mild steel. They also mounted the Kirkey road race seats and fixed the rear quarter windows in place.

Pics below. Felt kind of bad about bringing the car in there is such a motley state, but the new paint will come after the mechanical work is done.
