I will be stopping by the fab shop this weekend i think they were working on the mini tubs this week will take some pictures of the updates.

I am not sure on what color to paint the cage if it should be silver to match the car or black?

Are you still using a stock 4th gen oil pan? Any special baffle insert?

Also, why the TFS 235 heads vs. 225's that everone seems to place on 6.0's?

Read your entire thread, nice job on the car and like the documented progress!

Yes stock oil pan with Improved Racing baffle.
The 235 heads flow more and thats what ljms recommended
Thanks

Got a few pictures from the fab shop the cut out the original tubs and started fitting the mini tubs. They also cut some flanges made up so I can have some adjustment out of the front of the bmr extreme torque arm and the front of the rear lower control arms. I am very happy how everything is coming together.

Few more updates from the fab shop they got the outside of the funny cage cage done the door x bars and started on the rear bars. I try to go there every week to the the progress and to talk about new ideas we may have came up with. Like adding the adjustable lower control arms mounts. Don't really see it done with the f body's but you see all the mustang guys doing it with kits that are offer.

Stopped by the fab shop again they added some rear bars going to the sub frame and a parachute mount. Mini tubs and floor is welded in. Dropped off the Holley dominator for them to build a mount for it behind the glove box

Got the car back from the shop so i started by getting everything painted. Then i am working on cleaning up some of the stock wiring harness. It is hard if get a chassis cert guy to come out to the house or even answer the phone. Wish they had more guys for the cage cert of a better way of getting it done.

Damn they did an awesome job! I love the rear lower control arm brackets on the body side.
Killer Cage!

Well it took a little longer than I would of liked it too but finally got the car pretty much all done. Took it out for a little test drive to put some fuel in it every thing seems good. Still need to go to the dyno for some fine tuning just a base tune in it now. Then hopefully the track soon there after
