***UPDATE***

First things first, we need to strip this down to the bone. First we started with the windshield removal ,interior, and then moved onto the engine and drivetrain.

***UPDATE***

Once the car was stripped we were ready to get started with the roll cage. Our client wanted the safest cage possible which would give him eligibility to race in any series he chooses. For this reason, we decided to build him a SCCA Class 2 Spec Cage.

All of the fabrication was performed in house at HG Motorsports. The material used was 1 3/4" 120 Wall DOM. Lastly, everything has been tig welded minus the seems due to not acid dipping the chassis.

Below are some photos of the progress. We look forward to your feedback.
