So I stopped by Finishline Products and Services to see how everything was going on the cage. He was only able to get the base plates in because of issues with the tubes being shipped out but its coming together.







So far it looks good

9kracing didnt cut out the holes so,
I also decided to get to work on cutting them out,
Tested my skills on the first row and it didnt come out to shabby....



So I continued cutting and filing...
Action Shot



And it came out to this.....



Better than theirs lol

But thats it thus far.
I know ive been saying that ill update with cage content but its taking a little bit longer than anticipated so when its done ill update on that.

Ive aslo collected the battery and last piece of steel braided hose to complete the fuel system. All I need now is to get it over to the driveshaft shop and itll be ready to go.

Thanks again for reading guys.

I like it and I'm seriously excited about the temp. drops I should be seeing from it.

I was thinking about cutting them but looking at all the other ones they only had cut out those three holes. I'm guessing it's for structural reasons but for now I'm just going to leave it with just the three cut out

Update

So first off I got to work on my hood

Marked my points and went to town. And here it is all cut and riveted.

It bubbles up a little on the back from the excess material on it. No big deal.


went to primer whole hood


First couple of coats of black


And finished and cleared. I did 6-7 coats of black and 4 coats of clear.




And some pics of the cage
It's almost done.
I'll have a double door bar on my side btw

So I'd like to give a big shout out to my sponsor Finishline Products for hooking me.up with the awesome cage!! I got it all taped off and I went to town on painting it before the windshield got installed, so on to the pics.

One shot from the side before paint,
Another shout out to my other sponsor Mishimoto !!

It's just a mesh loom,
I got mine from a local place called Sky Craft.
I get most of my wiring supplies there.

It's really inexpensive for something that improves the look of a harness so much. It's really great stuff, just make sure you buy in bulk.... It's always better to have more than to not have enough.

This next couple of updates will be the rebuild throughout the rest of the month and early march.
Since I wasn't able to do much last weekend since I got the car back at 5 on Sunday, I'll actually be able to have the time to complete everything that needs to get done on the car it'll be the final stretch to finish everything off before the 2013 season.

Here's this weekends story in a collage of pictures.


Got the car pushed into the garage to get the gears going.
it was 40* degrees outside here in Florida haha



I then got all the wires re ziptied to the cage and got everything tucked away so I can finish the cuts on the dash and put it in.
All my cutting wheels broke and didn't have time to run and get some so I'll finish that next week


Did a quick check off all the bolts on the suspension and made sure everything was buttoned up and ready to go
New fuel lines coming this week!!!

Also got my harnesses put in and got my racersdata sticker put on,
Got one hood pin installed and pushed it back away because it got late and have a busy day tomorrow so no late night working


Racersdata is the little square thing, its pretty cool. It's a QR code that when you scan it it then directs you to my cars page and shows you all the modifications and background info on the car


Finishline got their vinyl in and I'll have my windshield sticker next week,
I have a ton of things coming in the mail and should have a busy weekend next week
thanks for reading!!
Updates coming soon
