It's looking good. By chance who welded the AN fitting on the water neck? I'm looking to do the same thing on my car in the future.

Future fab does all of my aluminum welding they are some really good guys.

Do you mind if I use you as a referral? I need my intercooler piping all welded up, and my BOV welded on as well. Also I need them to make me custom AC lines.

Wow nice work. I'm about to start the same cage in xdc specs. How many feet was it you used. I am really interested I know I need 1.75" .120 wall mild steel. And I am also going with the x brace as well.

I used 1.5 .120 dom on my cage cant remember how much I used though.

Oh what's your weight. Because I know xdc says over 3k must use 1.75". I wonder with my car stripped out if I will make it under 3k with cage. I really want to use 1.5 so much cheaper for the die I have a jd2 bender. I know the 1.5 die is 150 shipped and the 1.75"die is 450 for the one I want. What specs are your cage built for?

2jzcoupe

1.5 .120 wall I think can be used over 3k pounds. I dont see my car being over 3200 pounds after removing everything luxury about the car and then removing sheet metal and tons of wiring.

Yeah it says 1.75 for xdc and scca in the rule book for it. But idk if they will weigh ya lol. I'm just wondering. I'm doing mine at school. I'm in wyotechs chassis fab class now so start in a few weeks. I just don't want to screw up and not be able to run due to that.

these are dry weight. I think that I will be ok since anything that can be replaced with fiberglass has been but we will see once its all together.

Ok cool. Yeah I just don't want to screw up. Mine is gutted for the most part. And I just got my recaro's in so saving a lot of weight. Body wise we are doing the same exact thing. Hey are those aldstadt wheels. They look allot like mine but I'm guessing there probly weds.
