Looks Good,  keep the pics coming.

I wish my body was as ready to start on as yours is... We just got the front stub and suspension in, the rear end is ordered as is the new material for the new frame,, The 53 frame is to thin, I know the cage and bracing will help, but I am going with new frame..

Love to see what you are doing with your frame and cage setup...

Please keep the info and pics coming..

John,, sounds like you have a good plan... I am a few weeks behind you on the body work.. Hope to see more pics of the chassis and cage build up.

I am going to run E/CGALT  (If I keep my current motor)  then D/CGALT  with new motor (when stock market returns my losses !!! hopefully by spring 2010).

What motor /trans are you thinking about ?

The broader based markets come back/rebound before the economy as a whole does,,, so we all better hope the market is back by early 2010 !!!!

John,

I live in NC, just a few miles from the Heart of Nascar Nation,,,,  if you need any 4 speed stuff I can many times get good stuff.

Last year I picked up a few Tex Racing Super T10's  with all the goodies...

Let me know if I can help

John,

On your cage, the main down legs for the main hoop/loop,, where will it attach ?  The Frame or the Frame "out riggers" ?    Can you take picks of how it and the front or halo bars attach and where ?

Hope you understand  my question...

In the pics, it looks like your frame is 10 to 12 inches inboard of the door sill or rockers.. if that is the case, it would seem your main hoops would have to attach outside the main frame rail to an out rigger, kinda like the stock floor mounts on our rigger ?

MORE PICS PLEASE.... LOOKS GOOD.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
