Sure have, my other malibu got some cage work done by him but right now he is months out, this guy I’m working with seems like a great fabricator and should be done within the next few days

Proforms with their own brackets, really like them other then the cap on the front is trash and doesn’t even twist on or anything it just sits in there.

Cage is as tight as I think it could be made, hoping for some more updates tomorrow

Cage work is taking longer then expected but he said it should be done Sunday. I think making TX2k is not going to happen but I’m going to continue working on it everyday since there are a few events coming up soon and I want to test the car as soon as possible.

Finally got the last few parts back from coating and man I love this Illusion Green. Transmission is ready to be picked up as well so I need to go get that.

Just got my compressor housing back after a satin black coat of powder. I like it!

Cage is done but needs to be painted and interior installed before I show it off! Chute is removable and plate comes back up so it’s completely undetected!

Got her cranked up, need to paint cage and reinstall Interior then finish up tuning. Hope to make a event that’s happening on the 28th.

Just reread the whole thread, are you running the Holley/Hooker motor mounts?

Can you post a pic of the down bars in the trunk? I like how they’re really off to the side.
