OMG!!!!!! Custom CF/FG interior coming soon????

 

yeah, i am about to buy a welder and practice!! thanks for all the funny stuff !!! guys are crazy...

 

If you can solder, you can weld!! j/k...

 

a bit more to it than that. a perfect weld can be stronger than the original material. It takes alot of time, practice, and a good understanding of material science. Some of my old engineering books had alot of info on the strength of different types of welds.

On the other hand, a bad weld won't get the proper penetration and could easily end up in a broken joint.

 

BTW.....congrats on going nuts with the SawZall!!!! Experimenting is the best way to learn more and broaden your horizons!!!

 

wow are you even saving enough weight to make up for ruining the car?

 

Jeremy, you are a crazy ****...

Are you going grind all the edges and paint your interior once the cage is put on?

How loud is it inside your cabin now?

 

one word CRAZY

 

that is your opinion... i am actually reinforcing the car more than your car will ever see, therefore making the car a lot safer... i have to have a cage put in like this to run 9s.... thats all i am saying



thanks everybody else!!! Ian, i havent driven it like that cause i didnt want to put any unnecessary stress on the body or frame till the cage is in....

 

I can't wait to see the cage, are you going to reinforce the front at all?

 

no, the reason i am putting in the cage is because of NHRA rules. no need to strengthen up the front

cant wait to get it back and all cleaned up!!

 

have him do the cage with thoughts of the future......think wheel tubs and back-halfing!!!

 

any more cleaned up photos?

 

Damn, that is hot and sad at the same time. Your car is a beast and losing more weight will only make it faster. On the flipside its too hardcore for me to ever do in the Z-my beater is gutted and I live with it every day and the road noise/creeks, pops, bangs suck! Crazy bastard...

 

no more pics until i get the cage all finished, then i will lay a really thing layer of black carpet down, put the pads on the cage where they have to be and make sure its all cleaned up and painted inside...


yeah alberto, i was thinking the same way and sometimes i think "WTF an i doing??" then i am like, "who cares!!" then i tell the hooker "i swear i thought that check was good!!"

 

LOL, good luck with everything man its gonna be a nasty Z when it gets done. Too bad your running that boring tranny....j/k

 

just think if your car was the same speed it is now but shifted instantly... fun fun, i would say you spend at least a total of a second (lowballing it) banging through gears. not accelerating if you are shifting....

i will see how it works and how it drives around on the street.

 

Good choice for you, Id never do it, but then again Im not building a race car like you, Im building a bad mof'ing street car

 

i will be driving mine on the street just as much as you will, im leaving the air in, radio, everything for a while. this WILL be a street car, there are lots of american cars that drive around on a th400 everyday. hehehe

just will be fully caged!!

 

as long as you don't too high on the converter stall speed, you'll be fine. plus, use a great big tranny cooler. heat is about the only thing that kills auto trannies.

BTW, are you going with a full manaul valve body (standard or reverse pattern)? what about a trans brake?
