Here are a few more crappy pics from my phone. Once the weather gets a little nicer, we can get it cleaned up and outside for some decent pics.

These pics don't do it justice. The detail in Jake's work is unreal. The cage is damn near hidden, the dash looks factory, and he was able to get the rear bars in without losing the factory Mach500 stereo system. LOL

It goes to get all wired next week, then off to get tuned. Should be hittin the track around the first of April.

That looks like stupid fun! I want to see a video of this little beast on the track!

Somehow I don't think that is the guy's first roll cage.



Can you say attention to detail boys and girls? Someone can!

Mike Moore built the motor, those fittings are what he had on his Nova. Actually, they are off the motor for now getting painted black. LOL

My waterpump is actually on the bottom of the radiator, decided to go with a remote one instead of the regular electric one I originally had.

You got that right! Jake had a vision for it, and made sure every bar was perfect before he welded anything in. LOL

Here is a dash pic. Still need lots of armour all and TLC, but you can see how much detail he went into making it look as close to factory as he could. Also, you can barely see parts of the cage.

You got that right! Jake re-did a few bars a couple times trying to get them the way he pictured them in his twisted mind. LOL
I can tell, the work is immaculate! Very nice!


I forgot to say I love the factory traction control switch in the middle of the dash. Hahahaha!

If you have followed the VAMP DR class the last couple years, you know why I kept it on there.

Not that I would use the 7531 for traction control, after all, mine came factory that way! LMAO

Oh, and Jake says thank you for all the kind words, and that's what keeps him doing what he does!

Not sure? He works for Motorville, so I'm guessing they came from a supplier?? He gets on here from time to time, I'll ask him and see if he can get you the info!
