Wheel wells look good. Are you doing a full cage or just a 6pt?

Those look like the wolfe tubs. How much do you plan on narrowing the rear? What wheel size, backspacing and, tires do you plan on running? Are you retaining the stock LCA mounts?

i am not sure on what i am doing with the tubs yet, i had the car in the shop for the cage and found out he had to pull the tank for the cage so i was like w/e put the tubs in while you at it.

i am planing on running a 315 DR or a 30" tall slick. going to play around with tire sizes to see what is the biggest street tire i can fit

these are not wolfe tubs the shop made them there self. not sure what how much i am going to narrow the rear yet cuz i dont plan on doing it right now. when i send my wheels out to get widen them i will figure that. the LCA are the wolfe offset so ia m hoping that will be enough if not i will take out the spacer and just mount it flush with the bracket.

Wait, I just noticed that you are only hoping to break 11's. Is that a joke or are you seriously just doing this for looks?

no mine isnt a wolfe, its not done it these are just progress pics. its a custom 8.50 cage. the tubs are not wolfe, everything is being done in house. the wolfe cage does not have all the extra cross support bars and the rear bars go back to t-top area not on the wheel well or on top of the gas tank like wolfe.
