Yes, ran out of time today. Still need to do the cowl bar, upside down "V", add the halo bracing tubes, all the b pillar cross bracing, and some gussets

Looks wicked, excuse me if this is a dumb question but how are you going to paint that exo cage after , or are you leaving it raw. Not sure if its its just tacked on, but ive always been curious

got some work done yesterday. Tube work is done with the exception of an "X" across the top of the very back of the cage. which i am waiting on a light he ordered to show up before i cut the last 2 tubes. also started cutting and welding in the supports that will connect the sliders to the stiffeners.
