That was all kinda in the past 2 years. Updated now i pulled the car kinda apart. Going to Burkhart to get caged and cutting everything off the front end. Frame horns are gone, and trimmed the lower radiator support and cut some stupid metal shit they put on there. Fender support all gone, no hood brakets,hood shock brackets,fuse box bracket,PCM bracket. Basically everything, lol. And sanding off all the overspread seam sealer. Cut off all the seat brackets and belt brackets.

Nice. Looks like your on the right path. Your cage will turnout great. I've seen their work, first hand. :)

LS1 SPEED 01-04-2009 01:27 PM

damn! she will be light and I'm sure meet your goals.

joelster 01-04-2009 01:31 PM

Looks good man! Our cars are so similar, lol. Black '94 Z's with slicks/skinnies, big cam, weight reduction, lol. Anytrack times for your car before you dismantled it for the cage?

Taubr Unit 01-04-2009 01:36 PM

no, no times. Never had a good time to with work and weather. Should be done by spring time s i should have plenty of time to get there.

I do however plan on doing changes to the motor before it goes back in, just concentrating on one thing at a time so its done the way i want and also done right. Plan on throwin in new bearings for now, diff. cam (custom ground big guy) and cleaning the heads, mill and small gaskets to get my compression up some. Then go all out next winter on just the motor!!

AChotrod 01-04-2009 03:03 PM
