Build Day 4/3 - More cage, less glass

Saturday was a light build day. Most of the team was busy with Easter and other things so Jeff, Greg and I, with a little late help from Fritz, worked on the harder projects.

Fritz and I removed the trunk lid and rear window. The Harbor Freight windshield kit worked well, although the cable broke four times. The rear window was 17 lbs. All of the glass is now out except the windshield, which will stay. I'd like to install polycarbonate windows, but it's a low priority at the moment.





We started planning out the rest of the cage, and the rear down tubes look like they will be a little challenging. In this photo is the fuel tank, which is mounted in the trunk, over the axle. The rear down tube will come down to the front ofthe wheel arch, next to, and in front of the fuel tank. So, next week, we'll have to pull the tank out.


Jeff and Greg fitting the main hoop diagonal. Hey,this is starting to look like a real roll cage now! Next week we should be able to get the door bars done and start on the rear down tubes.






We have a track day in late May, which seems like a long way away, but is getting closer every day. I'm sure glad we started in November!
