Heres a few more..
Got the Rear Frame and SFCs all welded in.. Turns out theres less room for the rear 4link brackets on the frame than we thought there would be so were going to move the brackets to the outside of the frame so all the holes are still accessable for tuning.
Got started in on the main hoop and Halo but some how I managed to F up the main hoop (still havnt figured out how i managed to do it lol) I took the measurements half a dozen times and got it bent up but somehow put the first bend in for the roof too early. Its not as far off as it looks in the picture so dependig on how much it will take to make the door bars work will determine if I redo the Main hoop or not. The fitment to the top of the roof came out nice so i was happy with that. Im still kicking myself in the *** tho lol

In regards to your camaro. I was wondering how you manage to do all this work to your car, and take the measurement for the rear hoop about a half a dozen times before you bent it, when the car it self is in the motorsports garage in Alfred NY. I know this for a fact because I’m in that garage every day, and I haven’t seen you in there and know your not working on it. Just to show that I'm tell the truth here is a pic of your car taken today, while I was at the shop.

lol ive been talking with mike about how to bend the cage up and relaying what he tells me.. il decree that im not the one doing the work but for the sake of the internet its easier to reference than constantly saying my friend or my guy set it up this way and got this done today. I made refereance to who was doing the work and where earlier in the thread so as to make sure your guys shop got the credit. Which one of Alfred Guys would you be?? I only met a few of ya the last time i was there and sat through lecture with yall.. It isnt you Darrin is it.?
