Sorry, I thought I was pretty clear. I'm the owner. Genesis One did the cage. Orton completed the build-out.

I love seeing shots like this. Nothing wrong with 500 kilo women. Fat girls need love too...

Any chance of getting a picture of where you've tapped into the ignition and/or DME wiring for the kill switch? I'm about to put one in my 996, and I have no idea where the wiring is that I need to tap into.

Did you attach the cage to the A and B pillars or the cowl? Cage looks very tidy, well executed.

Excellent, thanks! I need to take some photo's of my car. I've got the cage all painted, and am in the process of putting in a fire system.

Isn't it weird that some of us can look at an interior like this and find the beauty in it? Makes me kindof misty.

BTW, Getty design has the doors much, much cheaper than cup doors. A very good fit as well.

Thanks Roger. Seeing your 996 at Roebling last year got me thinking about doing the conversion on mine. Are you goiong to have it at RA for the NASA season opener?

Patrick, I posted this elsewhere as well, and came back to double check on that passenger seat. It's there in some pics, and gone in others. You know all I care about is your passenger seat! Haha! Seriously. for obviously selfish reasons, that is the one feature of your car that I hope you will retain.

Good luck on the upcoming season! I won't be at CMP, but I'll be rooting for you from Alabama, and I'll see you on the grid at RA and Barber later in the season.

I'm assuming that you are going GTS3 and GTB for PCA. What wiring did you dump? Where did you move the fuse panel that was in the drivers side footwell to?
The original 3.4 ltr engine let go at RTL so it had to be replaced Patric decided to go with the 3.6 X51 we thought about going with a 3.8 X51 Motor but was not allowed for the class he was going to run in at that time.
We pulled out all the wiring except for what was needed.it was a bitch tracing all the wiring back to the fuse panel and we the attached the fuse panel to the underside of the roll cage that is behind the dash.

Neil (NAO) has done a nice job so far and had a few late nights I can tell you.

I really like that seat Patrick- I sat in it and it fits me perfectly. I'm a little behind you- just started looking for a donor car. Next.
