Soon enough, the cage is ready to go in, the hood id on it's way, the seats are in the garage and the full suspension is installed.

I need to cut and weld some stuff in the engine bay like the cowl and core support then start getting everything ready for the final assembly.

It's alot of work, everything will be unveiled once it's all done.

I'm talking the the Guys over at Neil Chance converters to make sure i get the right one, now that i have a special little toy going into the trans a few changes had to be made.

i took about 1.5 lbs worth of material out of the door not to mention the crash door crash beam that is closer to 15.

Even though the doors are a composite fiberglass plastic it's pretty dense, it gives the hole saw a bit of grief for a few seconds.
