Looks like the initial phase is going well Rick. Can't wait to see the finished product either.

Any other mods planned while the car is gutted, such as relocating the battery? I realize something like that may be unnecessary, just curious.

Are you going to run the cage into the front fenders and attach to the frame there ? Is that legal? I can imagine how much much stiff the car would get on elevation changes with a longer tube in the cage.

Not at the moment to my knowledge. The firewall is staying untouched haha
