    Bring it. I need some shit tacked together so it quits falling apart as I work on other stuff. Duct tape ain't cutting it.

          More pipes in, not too much more duct tape. 🙂 Getting a couple bends made tomorrow, then maybe get at tack welding some stuff in.

            looks uncomfortable to get in and out of. And, it's not even done.

              Yep, it gets worse as I add the funnycar cage. I plan on adding removable joints in my hips and knees to make it easier to get in and out. :icon_albino:

                Hell, at your age I figured you already had more bolt-on parts than your car does.

                    Made more progress, pulled the oem steering column out and getting ready for an aftermarket column with removable steering wheel. Practiced a bit with the tig and got one side tacked in, a couple of my tack welds don't even look like complete poo. Got part of the funny car cage fitted.

                      If you can tack it you can weld it. Fire that welder up and finish it!
                      Good move with the removable wheel, its going to help you shoehorn in a lot. If you dont want your wheel to wobble get a MW hub.

                        Eh, I'll let someone that knows what they are doing finish all the welding. I practiced enough that I feel ok tacking things together but thats it. I'd have to practice a lot more before I felt comfortable doing the welding.

                        The hub I got is competition engineering, hopefully it's decent.

                          That one is decent not too wobbly. The loose ones are annoying as hell.

                            Little more progress, got as far as I can with the material I got. Everything is tacked in, I'm starting to feel sorta comfortable tack welding with the tig. Note to self, don't forget to turn the gas on. lol

                                Yep, no metal work to do so I started on the wiring today. It was a disaster.

                                    Wiring is almost cleaned up. I'm not sure where I'm mounting my switches so the little pile of wire in the tunnel is the switches/wiring for that. Otherwise it cleaned up pretty well.

                                          Are you moving the drivers side helmet bar back and using the offset passenger bar halo tie in?
