Thanks.

I'm working on the lowering thing.

There's toolboxes, a jack, and heavy bits and pieces in the trunk and the backseat. She's rubbing like crazy in the back.

looking at 935 right now to figure the suspension.

word I'm stuck at home all day so stop by any time. I'll be here till like next monday or so.

Matt I am planning to just make something out of sheet to get rid of a lot of extra bulk. I'm going minimalist on this thing, that and being able to add holes for gauges/switches as needed will be nice

just curious but why the bent front tubes and dash bar so far back from the firewall?

ps. yay for racecars

That's a modified Jeg's cage, no?

Where are the baseplates for the main hoop feet? No diagonal?

thats as close as they got with the lengths they sent me I didn't trim them at all just did the bare minimum of a notch at the top and cut at the bottom, it's an S&W cage. I wish I could have gotten them closer cause it's going to be a squeeze now, but I guess I'll just remake them if I can get the right size bending dye later on.

nah it's an S&W, and it had no baseplates for the hoop legs so I just put them to a structural bolt hole on the floor. it also came with no diagonal so I just put it in and I guess I'll change it whenever I can afford some more tubing soon.

I wish the front fit better but like I said that's as close as it got with their lengths. The back fits pretty well though so when I can afford some more tubing and the right size bending dye I'll make my own front half

the front of your cage is meant to be used with stock dash, hence the random curves like a cusco cage has.... i believe S&W has an option for "through the dash" which would use the longer/straighter legs and follow the A pillars much further forward.

haha yeah looking back at it, I'm pretty positive I ordered the "around the dash" option which was dumb, but thats what I get for being in such a rush when I was ordering. It's no big deal though, it shouldn't be to much of a problem
