Progress pics of my car (cage, battery)

Here is some progress pictures of the roll cage installation, dash rewire and battery relocation project I have been working on. Big thanks to my buddy Tom Robison for helping out on the cage! I still have a little to do...the trunk needs to be painted and the interior needs to have the finishing touches done still.

Here's the pics:



NHRA certified!


interior back in






Trunk still needs a little work...

That's some nice work. Tight fit. They don't all come out that good. Should look nice when completed. Needs trunk kit IMO.

Thanks! There was a trunk kit in it...but it was showing it's age bad. Plus I left a quart of leaky transmission fluid in it over the winter, the carpet didn't fair to well

Nope, new job wont allow for it. I will miss out on Norwalk as well. I should be in cleveland from the 15th of may til june 8th or so, Unless the training gets suspended a week I will miss out on BG. But I do plan on going to norwalk to watch as its only an hour or so from cleveland, I just wont be there the whole weekend.
