I appreciate the kind words guys. Now I just need to put down enough power to make use of it. Nonetheless its does feel more stiff over bumps and in the corners.

Not to be a jerk but why tie in to the weakest section of the car at the rear??? Grab the frame rails. Not the wheelwells. If I rolled the car which is what I have to think about on every car I build I want the driver to walk away. The wheelwells are flimsy and dont protect the driver enough.
The fabrication looks killer and I'm impressed by the work though.

Nice work! Looks real good for what you are using it for - don't know if it would pass tech for dragracing cause of the way the bars are run, but it sounds like that isn't a concern for you. Good job!

looks good man .but why didnt you run the rear down bars straight.I understand the x and what it serves but tubes running at angles isnt as strong as a straight one.maybe you can add them in later .when the weight from the front end comes up the bars transfor the load to the rear of the car any bends/angles will flex more than a straight piece.anyways looks great and hope it passes any inspecion you might get.
