The magical mystery of building just about anything is the urgency that needs to happen at times that is often dashed by late parts or no parts at all. We have been twiddling our thumbs recently waiting for some new parts to arrive and we can not wait to get them! In the mean time [...]
With the fabrication of the main hoop we were able to start working on the rest of the cage. This is an absolute art and anyone that tells you different hasn’t ever tried to do all of this. We are fortunate to have “bones” himself and Tyler “the cage whisperer” providing their help and expertise [...]
The week before heading to Built by Bones was a major push. With the delay in the trans mount we had to make some quick progress. What’s left? Well, we had to weld in the trans mounting tabs, make an access to remove the trans, box in the opening in the center of the frame [...]
Each day is an adventure and we are nearly ready to get to Built by Bones to fab our cage. The final step to getting up to the cage shop is to finish up our transmission mount. We managed to make some great progress on that over the past couple weeks but it has been [...]

Going into 2012 we are very excited to progress with the project. We’ve already made [...]

It is a funny thing working on a 40+ year old car. You can spend hours on a part of the car and it will absolutely look as though you have done nothing to improve the car. So why do it? Why spend all this time when you could just cage it and go race [...]
