Smile Preview of my 12-point cage build up

Well not really just yet! However, here are some of the cars that they have been working on. Mine will be done in 2 weeks and I just can't wait to see the finished product. Here are some snapshots I took of cars still in the shop. It's too bad I couldn't take pics of the finished cage they did for Falken Tire's new drifting teammate. Enjoy for now and I will update this thread with my build up.

Finally Rick gets a cage. If done right, you can actually drop a lot of weight. Thats what we are doing with my car. We are cutting out the factory rear strut brace and the entire area where the speakers and glove boxes go and reinforcing it with the cage. Take out 40 lbs of sheetmetal and replace it with 4 lbs of bar . Should come out at least the same as it went in.
