Not sure on the weight of the TA. It is quite a bit lighter than the BMR MS one it replaced.

It took 3 weeks to get done. Would have been sooner but we had a few major snow storms during the build.

Looks great!

though I wonder why go that far and not complete the 25.5? Not sure if I'd want to deal with the x door bars with only an 8.50 cert

I understand doing the real difficult bars like the rocker bars/dash bar, etc

That's easy. $$. This was a simple 10 point that got out of control. Dave kept bending bars to make it look good as well as be safe. He modeled the cage off of the one in his car. If I want to go 25.5 later it will be easy.

I don't have the HP to go 8.50 let alone faster. That is a year or two out.

Yeah 370 turbo is about 2 years out. I want 9s out of the 347 NA first.
