Default my custom Wolfe 10pt, through the floors etc....

i know some of the members here know about my new setup, i figured i would share some pics of the cage which was just finished up about 2 weeks ago at Wolfe's shop. They did a custom 10pt with x brace, through the floor sub frames and some other work. i will be taking it back up there once i get the fab9 here for them to throw a sway bar and custom torque arm on it too. the car will have all Wolfe rear suspension parts as well. i'm thinking about having it minitubbed to more easily fit the 29.5x10.5s...not sure yet though. anyways, here's the pics.





and here's another pic of the car about a year ago before this new transformation took place.

Looks awesome! I guess I have a cage to model my mine after next month, lol.

on the side tho you said that you were thinking about having the car minitubbed, If you do that youll have to redo the bar locations over the rear wheel wells to another location right?

true, he'd have to have those moved, I don't see him minitubbing the car at this point however.

We'll make it work with a BFH....

actually i think it could work with the bars like they are right now...it would just require that we cut that back bar and bring the new wheel well up to the point of the cut and put a new plate in there and weld it in. i still havn't figured out what i'm gonna do for the rearend yet...i don't know if i need to narrow it with the 7.5" back spacing etcetc...gotta figure that out.

narrow it 3" per side will = a 4.5" or 5" backspace
7.5 is on a 10" wheel
