Message	Here are a few more progress pics on the cage up at SPL. Nascar door bars are in and the doors have been gutted of window and associated hardware. Cage has been welded to several places in the chassis and ties into the factory dash bar. Can't wait to drive it and see how much stiffer and responsive the chassis is. I'm extremely happy with the design and construction of the cage. Welds look amazing and it's built as tight to the chassis as I ever could have hoped for. I'm in the process of priming and painting the cage. The window net should be here any day now. Sparco firesuit and nomex/carbonx undewear arrived last week and my HANS and new Sparco helmet with sliding hans tethers should be here at the end of the month. Suede Momo steering wheel should be here in less than a week. Scraping off the sound deadening material was a complete PITA to do but it's complete with the exception of two thin areas on both rear inner wheel wells.
