The Cage is now complete! Thanks to our friends at LRT Racing we were able to put in a very capable 8.50 Second certified roll cage for Chuck. At Chucks request we added in some nice door bar disconnects to make entry and exit into the car juuusssst a little easier. We still have some more painting to do on the floorboards but the cage design is done.

You will also notice on the drivers side two small upright bars running along the door bar. That is for the window net when the project is closer to completion

Next on the agenda is installing that sweet carbon fiber roof in matte finish on the car

on with the cage pictures!

Is that piece of fabric/whatever on the bit to prevent damaging the finish of the hood?

Have to love the attention to detail you guys go through on customer builds, super impressive.

That car is coming nicely. The cage is sick as hell with the easy disconnects.

did you guys seal the roof to the top of the car with anything? Seems like you put it on dry and just riveted it?

No if you look closely in the pictures there is a black body body agent used.
