So I finally got my car to future fab in phoenix. Those guys are sick with welds. They are super easy to work with and have done a great job following the rule book for http://www.xtremedriftcircuit.com My car is being build for Drift by Intense Power in Gilbert, Az. The goal is pretty secret on power until I get the first Dyno, I don't want to put something out there and chase it. I'd rather it go where it lands. The goal is to drift it above 450whp. I drifted 385whp for about a year and a half.

This thread is to show the progress of my cage. I do post the full build at a local site for Arizona called AZDriven

Pics of the car gutting...





Engine bay shaved and ready for paint. Most seams welded.

Dash is out and ready to remove more damper. Interior will be fully painted. Getting ready for the cage.

Opened up a lot of room by removing the metal tunnel. Looks much better. We just need to see if we can remove some bolts. We aren't sure what it's hold right now.

Despite what people say, Dry ice is not the fastest way. Heat is good. Once I figured out to stop melting the dampener and just heat it like chris told me to it started to come off quick and I could just peel it right off.

You can see the area we opened up. Also if you look on the harness there is some more metal you don't need if you seam and stitch weld all that goodness.



Do NOT melt, just heat!

 

We are not done seam welding, we were just alternating corners because he kept burning me...

Just a few pics of the Stitch welding work Chris and me did...

 

At the fab shop...

 

Stopped by Future Fab to get fitted for the harness bars. Here's what I saw...

 

Door bars started!

It was hard to see and weld in the tight spaces with a normal hood, so John had to go in urban assault style..


Who needs yoga when there are cages to weld..

 

Holy crap thats a lot of work! Cant wait to see it finished with a video! Subscribed.

 

Wowza

 

Wow awesome!! Know if these guys could produce bolt in harness bars for us by chance?

 

I can ask if they will make one. I know we talked about it for some people I know.

 

I have a solution for a bolt in harness bar. Its a cross bar that goes on the floor if anyone is interested

 

interested in both!

jackus can you send me a pm with your solution?

 

Odang that is pretty sex...

 

looking good.

 

Thanks guys. The car is going through a lot of changes again. I will keep it up to date. I'm building a master thread for my car but it's changed so much it's hard to keep it updated.

 

That is sick!!! So much work!!! Can't wait to see it the finishing product.
