Both FC and FD builds are sick. What hood are you putting on the FD? Or is there a reason for going hoodless?

Regardless, the domestic sound of that engine makes me throw up, total FAIL if it is fast or not.

Burp, so much skill for nothing!

Is the cage formula d spec?

The reason I ask is because we are building a cage and the rear bars off the hoop are going to the strut tower...

I doubt were going FD but either way its cool to learn from others

when you did the dimple die on the ends - did you mark off where to cut the plate and leave it bigger to holesaw/do a full dimple die and then cut the excess off to have it rounded to meet the tubing?

**** looks sick! trying to learn some tricks here.

i did a full dimple die on the ends then cut it in half, welded the steel to the cross bars then did all the other holes when it was welded together. bec of how many curves it had the dies make the steel super strong, it would of been super hard to fit with all the dimple dies in it before i welded
