Very nice! As a Z16 owner for a street car I did cringe a bit! Who did the cage?

Frank Fuller in Lodi (Fuller Fab). Let me know if you want his number. He used to have a shop but now he just works out of his garage.

That's my plan Chris. Hopefully you can show me the ropes and we can have some fun mixing it up out there .

I will be contacting him shortly and getting my car to him, too cool.

I'm proud to recommend him to work on your car. My seat slider is bolted down to the stock seat studs. I don't have a seat-back support attached to the cage.

Glad to be of service! Hey as long as you're having fun I'm sure she supports you. And now that she sees how much more crap you could be doing to your car she's probably going to be less critical. LOL

What do you mean Dennis? I'm still in point-by . Always pointing someone faster around me. See you out there soon I hope.

I may want to purchase those fenders if you decide not to use them. I might even have some wheels for trade depending on which CCW's you have. Let me know.
