I have a few updates for you guys! The cage is finally complete; a few dimple die pieces still need to go in but other than that the cage is done! Front tubular subframe is nearly done; need to add some more gussets and that will be complete. Then the motor can be finally placed and engine and trans mounts can be fabricated as well as the crazy exhaust that is planned. Rear tubular subframe jig is started and will be an awesome piece with built in mounts for the 8.8 and extremely light! Then the a-arms can be modified, fuel cell mounted, sheet metal installed, front tubular core built, and v-mount setup and the car will be done at fab! Long way to go but the end is near.

If anyone is interested in the Sheepey Manifold let me know! Will sell for a good price!

Props on a dedicated and in-depth build... I would lose my head if I got the car down as bare as that!

Have some more updates. My fabricator is moving shops in the next few weeks and the car should be rolling by this weekend! Cage is officially done and looks nutty, I will be going with a different seat to get in and out easier. Fabricated the wing mounts into the frame as well as the cage to make it super rigid! Quarters and fenders are now cut for the new flares.
Put the top on and hood to get an idea what it will look like! We will be able to run the car super low due to the drop spindles and clearance we made. Getting excited to get in on the ground.
Sorry for the cell phone pictures.

Making slow progress as usual, my fab shop moved shops closer to a sheet metal shop that he will be working with on a future project. He will be learning how to use many new sheet metal tools and really looking forward to nice quality pieces for the firewall, rear firewall, rear floor, flat bottom, and diffuser.
After talking it over and over I am having him redo my a-arms. I wasn’t happy with the ones I have and rather than altering the current ones we will be making new ones.
Fuel system is taking shape; we offset the tank slightly to the passenger side. With the ATL fuel cell and Nuke Performance surge tank we should have no problems with fuel starvation. Some pictures for you guys.

The car will be at fab for a few more months. Material for my exhaust will be coming in sometime in February. This will be very exciting project that I have been dreaming of.
