Getty rear rsa style wing showed up today. My guess is finished glass wing and OEM deck lid will be about same weight as stock mechanical wing. Lighter than full rsa as no rubber part. Fabbing reinforced seat mounts. Then paint.

 

I like the cage plan pics .. looks great - any idea of how much it weighs?

 

We didn't weigh it all out - we did take a weight of car before it started strip down and will when its done.
The CAD program said about 50lbs based on materials selected and sizing.

My target weight is 2750 ready to go. We should be close to that with the cage added, but we are taking more weight off (flywheel, exhaust, the interior strip, sunroof delete, etc).

 

That's the "Set fire to your butt option"

 

 

Excellent work!

 

 

 

Nice! Painting roll cages is such a PITA.

 

I love the updates to this thread!

 

Yes, 2 years of shoveling $$ into a fire pit! :-)

 

^ well keep shoveling... maybe use a bulldozer would speed up the process ;-)

 

What a great build. Spent morning tea and lunch at work yesterday and all last night reading this from start to finish! So much inspiration. Keep up the good work!

 

This build thread is dangerous. I'm sure I'm not the only one getting terribly good ideas

 

Agreed, I like that rollcage but must resist from doing something similar.
