The cage is getting pretty close . Here's a pic from last week during mock up. Nice and tight I've been getting more video footage for a short film I am making during the process which I hope to have up shortly once the cage is finished. I believe we are going to do a satin black for the bars.

Rear bars are centered in the stock speaker holes. The speaker covers will be installed when done.



Also, I didn't know this, but the GN was bought by the owner (he is the first owner) and it has 14k original miles on it... It also has the aluminum GN v6 block in it.

that is one talented individual to make the rear bar that tight to the roof line, while keeping the glass in the car ..

He has a lot of nifty tricks up his sleeve I noticed as I hang out when he works on it

Haha it will actually be pretty easy. He will be dropping the cage through the floor for easy access of what normally would be hard to reach areas to weld. Before its back in position we will paint it.. and once its back in the car is when he will weld the bars to the plates. Right now its all tacked.

An older friend of mine has a very nice 95 supra in the garage with about 90k on it, but then sitting next to it is an all original Buick GN with about 14k on it. Never drive either one of them lol. Prolly got about an inch of dust on both.

The cage is almost complete. He has not been able to work on it for a few weeks due to projects at work but started on it again today. It will be finished next week and be getting dialed in next Sunday the 19th at my local track

The car will be at the Sport Compact Shootout!
