Still struggling on color... Originally i was going with Red... since I decided i wanted something differentiated then RED, BLUE, BLack Silver... so I was looking and some Greens, some champagne colors.. still up in the Air on color.. open to suggestions... I plan on keeping the chrome so something that makes t he chrome pop and is unique but not to personalized.......
I looked @ Alien green from Kia for example... and Lexus Desert Sage Matalic...

Dropped off the rear wheels today and got to see the custom fab Jake is doing on the trunk to make room for the exhaust over the Watts link... Al I can say is Holy S#$%^ its killer... oh and speaking of Watts... thought you all might like this shot...
Oh and BTW Jake is really awesome, honest easy to work with, and knows his stuff.... I thank my good sense and lots of research for going with him... I couldn't ask for anything more from a / builder / partner / shop... (i consider people who work on my car more of a partner then anything else...)

Jake welded in plate to the top of the frame then layed on the floor and welded it in.. then added a top plate where the cage will tie in... the finish pic is post welds being smoothed out.

Short answer is yes. Longer answer would involve when... and which car...

I was hoping to try this year but there may be a scheduling conflict that makes it impractical. That and a couple of other things need to fall in place.
