So far I have 3 or 4 nights into the cage, and I got the main hoop tacked in, and the rear supports ready to go in. I bought some pvc so that I could practice some of the harder cuts with zero risk. The front forward bars look like they might be short...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support. Things are shaping up nicely. The rear part of the cage is 100% welded up as of today. Also the reason the front bars are not in place is Kirk Racing messed up and they are about 6-8 inches to short. So I need to call them Monday to see what they want to do.
I am going to make some mock up gussets and test dimple die them, to see how they come out. I am also going to see about recruiting Jess to help me get the sound deadening out of the car. Propane torch and paint scrapper work great its just time consuming. This week I guess I will move my focus to getting all the sound deadening out of the car, reinstalling some of the dash that I removed, Install the evc 6, and get ready to pull the motor. Then I can weld up the few holes that I missed and finish the body work in the bay, paint and reinstall the motor.

That is the plan, but never know. I have faced all kinds of set backs with parts / back orders etc. I sure hopw so but if it comes down to rushing it to make the show, I will not sacrafice quality to make the deadline. I will be there for sure, and 90% that the car will be.
