    Dang Mike, I remember when I finally dropped my Buhogg down on all fours after 6 months. You can't beat that feeling. Your doing a good job. I hope to see you at Naionals (take your pic on which one!)

    Hope so! Either way it needs to last for a bit. Before I get a big one going I will need a 9" and a better t-400. I have two 400's now but they are mild.

    It looks to me like the bar on the outside of the driver might be 1/32" to low (LOL). Just kidding Mike, looks like the guys doing your cage know what there doing. Do you have everything to put the car together once you get it back in your shop?

    lol, I think the bars are close enough for me :Brow:

    I was at finishline yesterday and ALL the parts are in :cool: :cool:

    We should be tearing down the bottom end early next week to get ready for the R&R rods and re-bal. After we mill the deck for more squish the thing is going back together. The Mez water pump came in as well. After we dyno it and set the car on a scale were going to have the converter built. So I guess the only thing missing is the cam, oil pan, valve covers and spark plug wires. The cam is being ground now and the oil pan is being built by the cage guy. Oh ya, I need to order the front glass bumper.

    The front header is prepped and in primer.

    fun stuff :laugh:

    Ahhhh, Kinda, now that it is back home all I see is how much work is left! lol.. Oh well, still fun :TU:

    The cage looks awesome. Hope I never use it. Check out how small the trans cross member gets!

    The windows are going to be tinted as black as I can go on the rear, rear sides and as much as I dare on the doors.... That might hide the cage for a bit on the street , er, maybe not ! No really, it runs 12.99's all day....

    BTW, Tim Clow of Total Fabrication built the cage. His welds are awesome. Tube placement is right on ! I went through Finishline Motorsports and they were right, he does great work.
