Few more Pics of the 25.2 cage Mike over at Enterprise Motorsports been working hard on a few cages lately including mine. Here's a few in the car shots of my Z28, not quite done yet but almost. They are kinda dark, will have much better Pics soon.

Few more pics for now.
Mike at Enterprise Motorsports has been fabbing away and the car is back on all fours again. Will drop about another 1/2" when done.
Dual Calipers on
Rearend almost done, just weld up the Dual sway bar tabs and install the panhard. Mike made this from scratch it it just looks awesome. Got the MW center in and 40 splines.
Little more of the 25.2 work
making a little more room for the rear and torque arm. will just make a new section to cover the tunnel.
Like to thank Mike again for all his hard work so far, so much more to do but we're getting there.

Absolutely killer work for sure.
I'd just cut the whole back 1/3 of the tunnel and bend up one sheet, like a trapezoid shape and put it in there to make the room unless you have a reason not to. Just makes alot more room to work on the car if you're under it at the track. Like say you had to change the center section or something, be alot more room to work and make it an easier job.
Car looks killer though, love the way it's coming out. I can only hope when my cage gets redone eventually it comes out that good.

Exactly.... that's why I'd just cut the whole thing and build a bigger piece on both sides. It will look uniform which I like that alot more personally, and the room for working on stuff will be a ton better.
Unless you needed that room back there for something inside the car, it would be better suited to have it under the car for ease of working on it IMO.

They called it early, little tornadoes I guess blowing crap on the track.
I believe they split the money and the points with the option for Dave and (I think) Armen to run for the points at the next race.
BTW, nice build you got going yourself.

he was out helping with levi's car. i guess they went out second round.
your car looks damm good! i wish this chassis was still factory rear like yours (or atleast mini tubbed). but you do with what you have.
maybe see you guys out at a west coast race soon? or a asfsca race?
