Another 25.5 build Well, got started the other day with a 25.5 build on my 98 Z so figured I would throw some pics up along the way with how it is coming. So, here some are 
The work is being done by a local shop called Alumifab. The cage is all moly and should hopefully be done by the end of the month

Lookin good. Just curious what a 25.5 build costs. If I decide on a cage I mite as well get it done. That way, as it gets faster I don,t have to keep taking it back to a chassis shop. PM me the cost if u don,t mind. thanks. Does Alumifad have a web site.

I've got about 2600 into my 25.5 + extras, thats with my labor. Basically I purchased a 10 point kit that could be upgraded to a 25.5 and instead of waiting I just went 25.5. The basic kit was about 2k and the 25.5 bars were another 600 BUT for the inital 2k I got:
10 point cage
Upper and lower rear control arms
Sub frame connectors + torque box reinforcement plates
Travel limiter kit
Parachute mount + release
Window net kit
Rear sway bar + mounts and harware
Jig notched
When I upgraded they sent me all of the extra bars I needed to go to 25.5
Funny Car Cage
Driver X Bar(already had rocker bar)
Passenger X and rocker bar
All of the under car bars

Looking good! It seems like 25.5 LSx 4 Gens are becoming very popular
What kind of powertrain setup is going into the car... what class is it being setup for... any ET goals?
