Cage Progress
Several of us dropped off our C5Z06s with Genesis One in north Georgia following last weekends NASA Road Atlanta event. Mine is the first on the chopping block. I'll keep this thread updated with pics as BJ sends them to me.
Most of this is prep. He had to pull out my rollbar, cut the fiberglass in the door sills and then weld in the mounting plates.

That was the ground that make Val's car be a PITA right? Have you guys cut out all the wires rear of there? Now that I installed the manual trunk pull I have no need for all of that wiring back there.

So you just cut it out around the passenger side footwell? Sorry for the hijack Kevin 
The tanks are out... if they were in the car you'd be seeing them through the hole in the rear "wall". For my setup I took the tanks out and took the roof off before taking it to my cage guy.

No problem with the hijack, I know where you race. Besides, all good information.
I will be leaving the wiring harnesses as they are until after the 2012 season. I spent WAY too many years in the electronics field to even want to mess with it. FM stands for "effing majic" for a reason.
