THIS is what hot-rodding is really about. Fantastic project car and great work! Not to mention that you couldn't have picked a more beautiful Volvo.

very cool but i dont see the point of swapping a volve body onto an SC... seems like u cut everything outta the SC and only kept the motor...

Thanks guys!
Got a bit of a start on the cage today, all 1.75" .095 wall DOM to be legal for CACC GT class. And yes that is Flux Core....I'm just tacking it with a lil welder cuz mines to big to drag into this part of the shop.
Got it to fit ultra tight.
