ok guy,s dont know who started what, but anyone who knows F bodies knows the rear unibody frame rail starts right where we put the 6x6 plate, and thats where the D bars go.not on the tunnel
it states may be welded to tunnel if you dont have a frame /subframe/or sub frame connectors.
the rear frame [unibody cars now] on an f body starts right where the plates are,and are a struture of the car.the tunnels is not a support structure
again some will pass it on tunnel[dam some passed it on tubs,and we know thats not correct] but most will not......
this was brought to my attention because......
i don't come on here much anymore as the new owners kinda told me to get off,even though i was on board giving free info for 5 years. because there are others doing this it infringed on sponsors,even though i never solicited from this board for anyone to bring me work..........

You will be 25.5'ing mine early in 2011 for your attention to detail as shown above both in your work and in your knowledge base.
Cage looks excellent to the OP! And for Broke EF-->Nothing wrong with questioning, it's good to have critical thoughts interjected rather than obligatory nut-swinging. I like your style, haha.

Well it has been forever since I updated this and sadly not much has changed. Life has gotten in the way and I've lost a lot of motivation. Hopefully heading to the race track to watch this weekend will light the fire again. Gonna start with painting the cage, getting the dash back in, and then the non-PCM related wiring.

Cage is painted, dash is back in just need to trim the dash pad a little more. Most of the wiring is done and the Ozite carpet just showed up yesterday. Hope to have some pictures to post tomorrow or this weekend.

I keep forgetting to take the camera with me when I go up to the shop. Basic wiring is pretty much done. Need to cut the cowl and inner fenders and then paint the engine bay.
Ordered the manual brake kit from Burkhart and it should show up today or tomorrow. Still have a ton of parts to order but spending has been slowed due to some wedding purchases.

Send them an email or give them a call and they can give you a quote. They are great people to deal with and the quality of the cage is awesome.

Sorry about all the pictures going away. Got rid of my hosting since I wasn't doing much with it. I'll upload them all somewhere else and hopefully have some new ones to post this weekend now that Christmas and New Years are out of the way.

Just edit your posts with the new image links from wherever your photos are now. Kinda sucks when threads lose their photos as 50% of the comments are based on them!

I'll have access to a plasma cutter this weekend so I plan on getting rid of the rest of the fender metal and the cowl. Then I need to prep the engine bay for some paint, probably just flat black.

Yea I knew it was going to happen. I wasn't using my website for anything but hosting these pictures so it just wasn't worth the cost. That and I wanted to drop GoDaddy since they support SOPA but that's for another thread.

Got a lot of cutting done yesterday. I need to pick up a grinding wheel so I can smooth the edges down then I need to figure out what to do with the gap between the top and bottom of the cowl. I have a thread bookmarked with some ideas.

Well I've decided to sell the car and all the parts I've accumulated during this build. Thanks for the kind words during the build but I just have other things I'd rather focus on now.
If you are interested in the car or any parts check the classified section under my name. Thanks.
