Did a test run with powdercoating today, turned out amazing. Many more things will be done with this powder. I have been really busy at work/school, but the good news is my tax return bought me this supermoto!

I apologize for all the pics, I'm pretty damn excited how it turned out. This is my first time doing a roll bar.

Was that roll cage custom built? Or did you order through a company as a "hold and weld" pre-fabricated style?

I just found the cheapest kit I could find, ended up being a jegs kit. Took a little modifying but couldn't beat it for the price.

Took quite a bit of pounding on the inner fenders to make these fit.

Fuel cell and battery box location finalized. Almost on the ground, and that means motor/trans time!

I really like the fuel cell setup, that's what I think I'll do for my car.

I did it so I could use a firewall to keep most of the "racecar stuff" under wraps. Besides the cage of course. I'm real happy how it turned out. Also puts the fuel cell above the pump
