No motivation today so going to throw up a few pics instead...

Engine mounts done, waiting on Mike Deane to modify my 350z bellhousing, onto the slow and tedious stage of removing all the seam sealer and begin seam welding...

Was trying to work out where I would and wouldn't seam weld and in the end just decided - If there was a seam there it got welded. Soon had the entire top of the chassis done....

Getting to grips with it now...this is my first time seam welding.

My new worst enemy....seam sealer :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Got sick of wire wheeling seams so went off on a tangent, stuck in clutch pedal, fired in a seat and decided to fit my favorite leaver...
so tight on space with the Corbeau Sprint seats I picked up (cant believe how clean they are considering their about 6 years old)

Serious work dude. Fair play to ya.

Class work buck

Excellent work going on here man! I like what you did with fitting the hydro, no backing down!

I don't know why it is, but whenever I see a shell spit I just think "Shit's gettin serious!"

Thats the stuff, great work , keep it up. Cage is savage.
