Build Day 4/11 - More cage work

Another build day with a few more projects worked on. We started working on the battery relocation and mounted the remote battery terminals in the engine bay. The cooling fan wiring is complete as well.

We also cut some 4" holes in the trunk to mount the tail lights in. I was amazed how easily a new hole saw cut through the sheet metal.

We also tried removing the fuel tank and found that to be amazingly difficult. You'd think a fuel tank mounted in the trunk would be easy to remove, but no. We did come up with a way to mount the cage into the trunk without welding, which means we can do it with the tank in place. Basically we'll bolt plates in on the wheel well rather than weld it. Should work out well.

Matt also got the passenger door gutted, so they are ready to be reinstalled once the cage is complete.

Greg and Jeremy got a bunch more done on the cage as well. It's really starting to look look good. Since we discovered that the ChumpCar rules changed and we have heavier tubing than we need, we should be nice and safe, just like Lexus intended.
