T-minus 2 days...

First off the cage is FINALLY finished! Well sort of. We might and some bracing for the foot-box, and a dead-pedal. But all the required cage components are now in. Jeff had lots of fun fitting in the drunk to weld the rear down braces. He even commented how spacious the trunk was for a coupe, and that it could likely hold multiple dead hookers. Don't ask how he's knows this.


Next the new coolers got mounted. My dad got booted out of the house for some ladies art's and craft's weekend, so I took him under my wing, and he's taking part in a man's weekend with race cars. He did an awesome job getting the extra transmission cooler mounted below, and further below, the power steering cooler. Thanks for the help Dad!



The new wink mirror is in, which will help give us a nice panoramic rearview. Next we need to build a bracket for the gauges. But who needs 'em?


And lastly, a nice shot of the rear, with the trunk remounted, our fancy cheap LED tail lights and a nice shot of the complicated roll cage profile.



And now for some videos, we know you people love videos. First a test shot with my VholdR Contour HD from the main hoop.



We also took some test shots with Erik's Go Pro camera in and around the car. Its got quite the wide angle lens, its pretty cool.



And technically we got a few more things done, but we're not going to show them until tomorrow. Unless of course you want to stop by and help. Thanks to Erik and Jeremy for helping today too.
