Just pointed it out


ps. I read all of it and must have missed that it still was under construction ds.

No problem! I'm glad to have some good guys like you to keep an eye on me! It's nice to know I can't screw up too bad before someone will let me know. Keep up the good work!

I think something must be getting lost in the Babblefish translation. Maybe I should just be posting the finished product and not the build up.

IT IS NOT FINISHED. When it is done it will be very safe and very strong.

looking good

just an idea instead of going up to the dash again for the front mount maybe mount it into the wheel wells. a lateral bar spaning the two. this way if you wanted you can make it double as a shelf like cover it with one of the bambo/straw shelfs = very sleeper

I really like that idea, but as you can see from the pics I've got speaker pods in there that I really don't want to have to redu. As well, the bar would be a definate shin breaker in a severe accident, and would also be a heck of a lot heavier and require more holes to be drilled. I do think if I had a full cage that is EXACTLY what I'd do though.

I got these high strength stainless T-bolt clamps from a local hydrolics place. I'm planning on using both of them on the steering column to clamp a bracket onto it. I should have the whole thing done this weekend, so look for some new pics then.
