I have had ZERO time to work on the car right now though. I'm working my butt off trying to get all the T-Bar delete orders going. I got enough requests to necessitate a Total Cad design and a serious fabrication Jig. Multiple jigs actually. I'm almost done with all that stuff, then a full production line will be MUCH MUCH easier. As will any project like that, it takes a ridiculous amount of work to get it started. - WHICH is why I never accepted custom parts requests; except this time. Every other request was for parts already avail out there. This part hasn't been avail for some time and now I can make it actually affordable. I know it sounded like it, but not a sales pitch. Just an explanation.
Once again, THANK YOU! I can't wait to show you all the fun Shiny stuff I have been working on for so long now. It all gets to go on the car soon enough. Here is a small hint for the picture. Everything underneath the car almost looks better than the car itself! It is a real shame.
I'm almost sad I've gone this far. For a real drivers car, I like a mean beat up looking car that's not afraid of some dings or pain. I will probably be too careful with this one. That is not what I had planned.

Here, I did something fun with it. I labeled many of the things I modified in the interior and the engine bay. See if you noticed any of them. 
Good night.
Good night.

Duke, what Boost said above. Here is a pick before metal was added and the powder coating was given. It's a love it or hate it piece. This was just a boring simple "X" brace, so I added some stuff to brace it and I got a little fancy with it. I love it, but understand how people can really hate it. Unique things like this are usually like that. I still have a whole paint thing to add to it.

For the Star Trek Fans out there, I call it my Klingon war bird "Bird of Prey" brace. But if you look right at the brace supports coming directly from the corners of the cage, they go Straight to each tower for an extremely stiff set up. I don't think I've seen any cross braced straight from the cage corners. This is how they do it in the WRC. If you look at some WRC cages and mine, you will see where most of my design comes from.
