Had a buddy come over and help with some of the tighter, more difficult out of position welds.

Amazing work! I'm in...

 

[Hemirunner]

Looks like it will be much easier to weld out the bars from this angle.

 

[Hemirunner]

I finally get a good weld with decent color and it has pin holes, lol.

Yeah it's all good. We're just trying to get all these little tubes in. There's a bunch!

Thanks Mark. Always great to BS with you and thanks for the parts!

That's the plan Mike. 170mph in the quarter and 200+ in the mile.

Looking sharp as usual, gonna be a bad machine!

Thanks 747! Now, keep on laying that foundation!

 

[Hemirunner]

Here's my helper doing the "difficult welds" lol.

 

[Hemirunner]

I have nearly 20 more tubes to cut and fit to satisfy the bracing requirements and finish the seat bars. The tubing work just seems to drag on forever!
Here was another distraction.... I narrowed and back braced this 9" for a guy....

 

[Hemirunner]

I also started a 318 restoration build for another guy and I hear a 416 SBM build is coming this winter as well. No shortage of things to slow my project down!

You know what I love about this build. You are making me look sane. Unbelievable attention to detail on this cage.

Thanks Steve. You're far from sane! I have a long way to go to achieve the level of insanity you've reached but I'm trying to live up! Did you get out of DMV prison yet? Edit: Just saw that you just did today!
