I understand that, but you do realize that over this 6 months you are going to lose a lot of followers in the gaps and get much less coverage than if you kept it short and sweet right?

Either way, congrats on the build. I would love to see the final results, I just don't like be jerked around.

That is a good point, as far as coverage goes though, Im not doing this really to get alot of hype and coverage on the car. But it is a good point. People may loose interests. Lets hope I dont

I sure won't lol, take all the time you need, just don't turn it into a 50 page long thread and not finish like the guy doing the 240sx/350z project. lol

Wicked build! Can't wait to see the end result!

I have a question, I always thought this area had some bracing across the car under all the plastics for the glove box etc... Is there anything metal that is important in there, or just a bunch of plastic??

Thanks!
There are a lot of platics in here along with sheet metal going across the inside there, but we took that out because the cage was going in place of that so no need for the reinforcement because the cage will do that!

Does it provide any real chassis stiffening, or is it mainly just supports for the glove box, speaker, storage areas?
