I replied to your PM, thanks. I hope it all looks great once is done. Cage and crash bar has been decided. I want to add more but need to make up my mind. New paint will be done once the cage and crash bar are done. I have a lot in store this winter.

I stopped by the shop to pick up a couple of things. The guys at Patience Metal Fabrication are making great progress with the rear of the cage. However there is still a lot more left, but I love the progress they are making, their sheet is precise.

I also found out why I had a leak coming from the top left corner on the driver side. No biggie it will be handled when the car goes in for paint.

With so much happening leading up to my wedding then Christmas the car hasn't received much attention. Finally is off to the shop for work, so it should be ready by summer. It will be a Street and Race Track car. The wait is something I can't always control I apologize for the slow progress. Trust me I wish I was further along too. But she is making tons of progress now. By the end of this month she should be done with the fab work. The. She is off to paint, chassis work will be done. I need to drop the si frames for bushing, fig engineering parts, suspension as well as big brakes. I call that phase one hahaha. Phase two is all about the engine, exhaust, everything to get her running.

It's going to be a busy winter from now on. So hopefully the upcoming updates are enough.

I received some updates from the shop, I have more parts coming in today to the shop. More needs to be done to the cage, as well as the crash bar. However I like how things look so far.
