any extra reinforcement to the front pickup points for the ladder bars? Any chance you could get a picture or two of that mounting point on both sides?

I will be picking up the car next week from the Fab shop. I will have more pics then.
This is the FIRST 1g cage I have EVER seen that made me jealous of them in comparison to mine. You sir have an amazing suspension setup that even the fastest of the fast guys wold be jelous of. No one out side of shep is rollin like this in the unibody.
Major props. If this project ever gets parted, that shell's mine! Hahaha.

Admittingly so however, a lot of that overkill stuff adds more weight than performance
Some people think I shouldn't show pics of the rear setup so that people can't copy it. I think this is the wrong mind set in our community. Everything I have done or had done to this car I learned from other build threads. Literally, I could show you the links I have in my favorites to multiple threads on this site that gave me step by step instructions. Also, guys like Jeff bush, Kiggly, just to name a few, who respond to my PMs when I ask them about their setup. Trust me if it wasn't for this site and the guys on here who are willing to share their secrets, I could not build this car. So I have no problem sharing. I want all DSMs to be fast.

Sorry but, You are wrong. There are several local guys here running a live axle.
I'm glad to see that you are sorry but you should be sorry for not knowing what you are talking about.
You think I don't know how many guys are running live axels, 8.8s etc? I was talking about the craftmans ship. Its a gorgeous setup.
I'm sold, I want a solid axle set up for the rear and I would love to put a tube front end under my car as well. I'd be building mine with an lsd. I just wonder how streetable this is. I refuse to pull my car off the street and make it track only. Thats where the fun stops for me. This looks like it would be quite bulletproof. I'd only plan on maybe hitting 10's in my car one day so I dont think I have to go as wild. I also wish more people would psot pics of this solid rear set up and some of the measurements. With a welder and tape measure I think any person with a lift and a welder can tackle this. Info on the adapter for the rear drivesahft yoke would be appreciated if you can supply it. I hope this car lives up to the quality its seen so far and doesn't end up on a part out list. Good luck and please keep the progress updated.
Im curious on how much flex the rear has with the ladder bar set up, I also wonder how this could still be used in Auto-x.
My dad keeps teelling me that i need to put a 9" in the rear for over 9 years and he could never figure out why no one had done it yet then he saw sheps car back in 06and was amazed to see that someone finally did it.
Now people see that they work and are putting them in and actually posting pics of how it is setup
THANKS FOR THE PICS THEY WILL HELP inspire me to put one in
