Got more pics of the cage progress... at this point the cage is done. There are a few small things that still need to get worked out but other than that its all finished. Next is to paint the chassis and then wire it up. Jason should be done with the doors and rear bumper soon too.
We ran into a small problem with my seating position and my helmet being closer to the cage than we wanted it to be. So we ended having to mod my seating position again... this time its lower/further back and my seat bracket is now attached to the cage and made with the same DOM tubing that the cage is made of.
Anyways on to the pics.

Paint update!
Jason came by this weekend and we managed to get the chassis of the car painted... now all that is left to do the outside is cut and buff the chassis then put it back together.
