i only have a 5 point roll bar in the car right now. the cage i'm putting in is just good to 8.50. it's mild steel and i'll be MIG welding it in. there is a second 8 pt roll bar (10.00 stuff) for a buddy's car in the bed of the truck too, which is why there are so many bars back there.
i do have some exciting news to relay as well. AFCO and Brian Tooley Racing both have come on for a partial sponsorship. I will have a fresh set of shocks/struts and some fresh valve springs for 2016

well the car finally made it into it's spot for this year's updates. also, had a cool gift show up that should help with the data analysis portion of this. it's an older autometer 34 channel data logger. i'm pumped
disassembly should begin this weekend.

i got more done this weekend. it was cold out, but the little kerosene heater was pumping and i made a big fire in the fireplace in the basement and it was manageable with a couple of thermal shirts and jacket. the car is now pretty much stripped down where i can really see what i'm working with.
these boxes are HEAVY, lol! i'm thinking of different things i can do about this.
empty :o

I'd be scared to tear down that far at this point in time 
BUT....you're a thrasher, and will make it happen I'm sure (a very understanding wife helps too )

well, i didn't get everything done i wanted to this weekend, but i also had ZERO idea how much work was involved in the mini tubs. my cousin Chucky, whom i've been helping build and maintain his car over the last couple of years came up yesterday and helped me get a few things hammered out. so long story short, here's some pictures of what we did.
all cut out
had to go get some steel. this break/shear was huge. totally picture worthy
wolfe spring kit and summit tub kit waiting install
added some 1x2 to the inside of the frame rail to help with support
then boxed it all in with 1/8" plate to make sure it's strong
lca's waaaaay offset now
checking fitment with the biggest thing i have laying around at the moment: 345/40/17 on a 17x10.5 with 7.5" backspacing.
this monster is 13.25" wide
inner skin in
and passenger's side so far:
hoping to finish the tubs up over the week and get started on the cage maybe by next weekend.
