Thank you. Its a lot of work. Mostly done by myself & a buddy & another buddy here & there. My buddy gets most of the credit. He has the bender & is doing the tig welding. I am doing more of the dirty grunt work. Grinding, Cutting, fitting the tubes & tacking some of them etc.

Thanks guys, We have finished a few more smaller bars, brackets & tabs for window net, parachute handle mounts, front & mid plates are done. All of the major chassis & cage is now done. I have an appointment with NHRA at our local track on Sat to get it certified for the 25.5 cert.

Latest updates: Primed, painted & cleared the seat brackets, parachute mount, steering column B5 blue to match the car & painted the Kirkey seats black. I don't like that alum look. Still waiting on the new covers to come in. I have the car all masked off & cardboard windshiled & rear window templates made since the windows are out. Priming, painting & clearing the cage is next. Not looking forward to this.

I had the Challenger out side to do some garage cleaning. Here is how it looks as of right now & a sneak peak of the power plant, someday... In the removable steering wheel & tubular column picture you can notice Pro Stock type inner door handles I had to fab up thru the arm rest since the cage door X bars crossed where the original inner door handle used to be. I made a small filler piece to block off the old opening in the door panel.

They are custom made, prototype Borg Warner 106MM's. They are a matched pair. One of them made 1594 H.P. on a dyno test we did with one of them.
