Absolutely. I'll be calling him up sometime later on next year when I get ready to do the cage. Your build is awesome. Both of them for that matter. Your thread here is another prop to why I choose to go with mamo on my build I'm doing currently. Darth's and 5le post are very contributing. Y'all keep up the great work.

quick update
Figured I'd update a little since I haven't in awhile. I've been working on my other car and being lazy also lol. It's nice and cold here so been playing in the snow with my truck and going snowboarding in a couple weeks so have been distracted.
I had a new windshield installed. I actually bought the optic armor front and rear windshield but decided to stick with OEM glass for now. There's a few local events where the rules say NO LEXAN. So I'll install the optic armor later but not for this next season. The car is street plated right now also so I don't want to disqualify myself from any events before I get started.
New glass actually looks a lot better
Also, I decided to buy some beadlock wheels for this car and swap my regular B.S. wheels over to my silver car. I went a little overboard on my rear for my silver car and my black ZR1 wheels don't fit anymore lol.
Close up of the beadlocks. They look pretty awesome. And I love how I can mount them myself at home. If I had it to do over I would buy all beadlocks just for that reason.
Hood finally finished

Like the way it blends into the windshield. Should be better for aero

Can't believe I haven't posted anything since Christmas. The car is off getting a Carbon Fiber roof now. I'm also having the cage upgraded and a little more weight reduction done while it's there. They're waiting on the roof now to get it done. I've also been focusing on my street build to try and get it done and have some fun with it this season. Not much left on it. Just basically some wiring.
So I worked on the boosted car's fuel tank and pumps today and got them set up. It's a dual Holley setup my tuner recommended. Both pumps are more than capable of feeding this setup and it's nice to have a backup.
I have 12an line coming out of the sump plate in the tank and going to 2 Aeromotive 12an prefilters (ethanol compatible) and then to the dual pumps and a single 12an outlet. That will go to a 12an Aeromotive post-filter and then step down to 10an and go to the fuel rails and split to 8an.

Lol. Thanks Brew. I don't mind helping at all. I enjoy it. As for the car I'll get it done. I really haven't done much since the holidays, just getting back into it now. I've had a lot of hiccups with parts but I think that is over. Hopefully I'll have my boosted car back in a few weeks and my street car driving already by then. I'd like to bring my street car down to the rental that Prototype007 in SRK is putting on down in London Kentucky on April 30th. Should be fun.
