Nice job on the build Jaromy! I still have to go through it all but the final product looks NICE!

Thanks! It has gone through a few changes lately

No worries its going to be impressive to follow;D

I hope that's the case ;)

I'm gonna have to wait to show you the color! Don't want anyone to steal it... hehe..I'll send you an idea later. I'm trying to make SEMA, I'm on my own on this build, so it's taking a little longer. Time is creeping up on me.

Your secret is safe with me ;D Time and money. Both are hard to come by at times.

Thanks! Went with a 50 series Flowmaster and a resonator to control the sound. It won't be ideal, but there was no way to bring the exhaust out the back.

I can't imagine getting them out behind the rear tires with a 4-link. Is it possible?

Having done a few.... without a full width truss yes, very tight but doable, more body lift makes it easier and might allow it with a full truss. without a fuel tank can be done with or without a truss.

My full truss made it impossible.

Not much to report lately. The passenger fender/strut cover has been installed. I'm working on the drivers side right now.

A few updated pics to show I'm making progress...very slow progress :cry:

Rear fenders are done and the strut support is mounted. I will paint everything when I do the bodywork at some point down the road.

Seat will be mounted to the roll cage

Roll cage has been started. 1.75" x .120" DOM, through the dash, hoops "kick" to the middle 1.5" to follow the windshield frame and hardtop and it will be tied to the frame.

Added some bends to the floor plates so they fit better.

I HATE PHOTOBUCKET!!!!!

Cage is finished for now. I'm pulling it to have it TIG welded this weekend by a very generous member :-* I will add the floor and harness bars in the front when I can get some aftermarket seats. Until then, I'm considering this finished.

I welded in some bungs for a single lap belt and a tether mount for my son's car seat. He is getting excited.
