3/18/12: While on vacation in Texas I received some pictures from my friend who is doing the roll cage. Mind you these are not completed pictures and full interior will be back in the car before it comes back home (Tomorrow)

So your gonna be able to detach some of the roll cage when not in use or just so you can get in and out of the car? Never seen that done before! Everytime I seen one they were always welded into place.

Thats a swing out bar on the driver side so I can get my big ass in and out of the car (I am 6'6 280 lol)

Haha! Nice! That would be a bitch to get in and out of if it wasn't for that.

Nice cage, looks awesome

 

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Thank you!

3/20/12: Sitting here in Houston Texas waiting on delayed plane departure, figured I might as well share some more pictures lol. I got these this morning, they are more of the cage and of the painted engine bay

Is that a wilwood master cylinder? Looks clean man and love the color!

 

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Thanks. Yeah that's the wilwood mc

Thanks. Yeah that's the wilwood mc

Nice! They take up so little space compared to the big ass OEM one's! The bay is gonna look sweet!

 

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Yeah, ive had it shaved and tucked for last couple years, just had to refresh the paint due to strut towers cracking

3/27/12With just 5 days til I hit the dyno I figured I had better get some good rubber to not only grip on the dyno, but to get my ass there and back haha. So I headed up to Jegs and picked up 4 new tires and a couple AN fittings that I needed. The tires are just Kumho AST 195/50's, they will do just fine for street driving.

3/29/12: Tonight we got the dash back in the car and started wiring everything back up underneath. Its starting to look like a car once again. I also got hooked up from a buddy with brand new lug nuts, apparentyl he wasn't feeling my old rusty, paint chipping ones haha.
