So how is life on Red Bull and Methamphetamine?
building a new cage from scratch? or transfering the old one?
Jerry,
I was just very impressed on how well the cage held up and looked like it had never been touched... I guess that's the point, right?
Seeing a Mustang gutted with no roof and a roll cage showed me just how much "safety cage" we have surrounding us. I'm glad the CCR's put the requirements that they do in the rules.
That cage was actually in excess of the rules.
It met the chassis in 6 points, but that is where it deviates from the rules, ( no it was not illegal).
The X in the rear is optional.
The 2 lower bars from the rear shock towers to the bottom of the main hoop are optional.
The main hoop had 2 crossbars, one straight, and one curved.
the bend above the rear view mirror is optional, and triangulates the front hoop.
I used to think that Micah had too much cage, and that we would not be able to get the weight down beacuse of it. Those words actually tasted good once I ate them.
I am glad nobody got hurt, and that we all can learn that there is no such thing as too much cage. Can a soldier have too much armor? That question is answered when I look at my 2 little girls and wonder how they would answer that question.
The new car already has a cage.
I just need to swap engines and trannies, change all springs shocks, struts, brakes.
also have to add a seat, battery box, PHB, add a few gages, and paint and decals.
All that and travel for work. Last weekend, I went to Road Atlanta, and next weekend, Ill be in Nashville.
Parked the old car for good Sunday. Will make a good race car someday for someone with time to spend.
Picked up the new car Monday.
New shaved Toyos came in yesterday.
Worked on the car until late last night/this morning.
pics posted soon
I posted pics of the new car on the gallery.
Here it is.....

Ha ha, just kidding. The pics are there for real.
This Friday, I test the car at Barber.
Inspirational ...
Jerry finished with all the major work this morning, call loaded on trailor @ 0100. Left the house @ 0430 taking the car to Barber in Birmingham,AL for shakedown.
Jerry really busted his tail to get CMC44 back on track... makes a tranny rebuild or a rewire job look like a kindergarden project.
Way to go guys.
