Been busy cutting...lost another 15lbs

almost finished the removable front end...just need to dzus the back of it and mount the headlight covers.

Not much left of the engine bay (just frame rails and shock towers).
also holesawed the a-pillar and removed extra metal not needed under the dash...that will make it alot easier to plumb in my fire suppression system

got the upper dzus fasteners done on the front end...just need to do something for the bottom and readjust my downpipes...now that I have everything aligned, the pipes are a smidge off

there is no longer any factory hardware holding the front end

also layed the DMH carbon fiber mirror blockoff plate in place for the picture...nice looking pieces

You need to gut the inner sheetmetal in the car like you did up front.

I chopped up the B-pillars already like that...don't want to do the front by the doors since they are supporting quite a bit of weight...

I can't believe I haven't noticed this thread till now! I can't wait to see this monster run down the track! All the fab work you've done on the car is freakin amazing.

Quick question, who did the original cage in the car? Because I need to get a cage put in my car over the winter and I love how tucked up your cage is to the interior of the car.
