so ive amassed to most of the parts i need to begin my winter build...as soon as i get back from vacation next sunday the building begins! heres couple pictures of what i got to take before i left

heres the roll cage and you can see the tires for teh skinnys, and the push pull battery shutoff, and my strange 10-way struts


and heres the 4" cowl i have been waiting for forever

the plan is to start tearing out the interior when i get home and start to fit the cage, once its fitted and ready to be welded im going to trailer the car to my friends shop where he has the hood to paint and fit the hood, and weld in the cage, then when i get it back i plan on swapping to my UPR k-member and doing longtubes at the same time...after thats finsished i plan on moviing the battery to the trunk and getting rid of the kenne bell intercooler reseviour for the moroso one taht goes in place of the battery..lastly take of my BBk subframfes and weld in my new maxumim motorsports ones...hopefully by then my stock seats will be sold and ill be ablet o maybe buy some corbeaus and some harnesses...and thats all thats in the plan but who knows what could come up....hoope to update with pictures as i go along, Cant wait for her to be finished, im shooting for under 11.50's! or faster if possible, i think the cars got it in it

I hope it does too. I hate taking interior parts apart because something always gets broken. Do you know how fast you are allowed to run with a 6 point cage?

yeah ik watchu mean, its gonna suck but its worth it...im not exactly sure, i want to say 9.50 because i saw a KB cobra running 10.20's and he only had a 6 point so im assuming 9.50 but then agian i have no idea im sure someone will chime in....all i know is you need it starting at 11.50 ahha

I saw your in LI, do you go to Realspeed?

[CobraStang161]

That's only a roll bar. Roll cages are 10pt and up. Roll bars are good till 10.30 then you need a cage.

Doesnt give times that I saw..

IF i get time this weekend, Ill go by my chassis shop and talk to the cage guy.. although normally he only builds full tube chassis cars, he should still know the et/mph and how many points are required

[Jason4.6GT]

I dropped my tranny on my arm the first time i pulled it out. I had to have some help puttin it back together haha

[saxmanJJ]

How much does the rollbar weigh?

Is it chromoly or mild steel?

I might be doing this mod for next season myself.

[bigboy05]

im not sure on the weight, but its mild steel....well i got some work done today, took a while but i had some friends come and help due to my collarbone but we basicly took the interior out was basicly straight up, except i realized that i ran my BAP wire throught the rear seat frame so only snag was cutting and resodering that which wasnt to much of a big deal...just gotta finish up tommarwo getting all the little panels off...then hopefully be able to fit the roll bar and then get the car towed to a freinds shop where he is gonna fit and piaint my hood, and have a some race car builder who did the tubs on his camaro weld the roll bar in....



not much progress but its hard with no left arm

hopeuflly i can sell my seats and hood fast to make some room...

[bigboy05]

made some progress today alsoo... totally gutted the interioor and its ready for teh cage, im hoping to send the car out tuesday and i might also just send the roll bar and have them fit it and weld it, i was going to have them weld it in the first place and i was going to fit it, but with my collarbon im not able to fit it and i dont have tiem to wait because i have so much other stuff to do before spring so im just going to let them fit it aswel, gotta schedual a tow truck tommarow and hopefully get it there tuesday and maybe have it back by the weekend!

[LGHTNG02GT]
