Well I have made the decision to go full 25.5 on the Turd. As much as I didn't want to I ripped the whole cage out so I could do the floor bars the way I wanted to and looking back I'm so glad I did. Thankfully most of the bars were just sitting on the notches and only a few were tacked so it wasn't too bad to pull it out. Last night I got the windshield bars and main hoop notches cut so they could sit on top of the floor bars and I also got the main floor bars done and drilled all 14 billion spot welds on the factory seat bracket mounts. All that's left for the floor is a couple 1" and 1.25" diagonal bars and it can come out to be fully welded. Next up is the driver enclosure which will be a party to make.
Also went ahead and ditched the factory steering column and ordered this awesome chromoly column. My new Kirkey seat is at Buschur I just have to go pick it up so I can get started on making the mounts off the floor bars.
Sadly the powder coat place is super jammed up right now, my trans is 2 weeks behind (hopefully done today) so as soon as that's done the trans is off to the legend Shep to get the PPG gearset installed. Once the dogbox is done its gettin slapped in the rust rocket black car and its ready to go racin!
the new steering column, this is a cut to length dealio
