Been busy cutting...lost another 15lbs ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
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

Almost finished with the engine bay/removable front end. I can't believe how stiff the front end came out![Icon Eek](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_eek.gif)

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.
At least you're not there on friday nights
