Heres a few crappy pics. wife has the better camera so these will do for now.











for some reason though my wide band is not working right. it turns on but won't take a reading. just sits with 3 lines on it and topped out on the lean end. any ideas?
Had to quote just so i could look at the beautiful pictures again. Looks like a beast!

it is chromemoly,nothing came out from under the dash. but the das was removed in order to make the cuts along with the rest of the intoerior. the bars go through the floor boards and ar welded to the fram and connectors in the rear. It was a custom built cage speciffically for the car so there is no brand. i can get some more pics for you in a few days when i have the car back at home. i am trying to figuure out what the best way to paint it is going to be.

auto, in your case, like a nice c4, would definitely get you into the 9's, a lot faster than your 6 speed...

Nice work. Figure out how to paint that to match your car and it'll really look sweet. You are planning to put some padding on that, aren't you? Would hate to see someone bash their head on it. So I take it you're looking to run 9s or faster? I personally would not put a full cage in a street car, though. Too many people advised against it.

hoping to get to the 9's sometime soon. I need to put some padding on it at least on the sides it gets fairly close to the head area. you guys think it should be silver or black?
