Default Race car progress pics @ my garage

I've posted the next series of pics of my race car project @ my garage. I'm further along than the pics show but I'm posting them so you guys can see the steps that I have gone thru to get to where I'm at today. These pics were taken about 5 months ago. They show the coupe you see below on my signature after I removed the engine, cut the top off, removed the side quarter fake vents, (I'll weld in metal patches in the holes) removed the metal doors and front end clip and started installing the one peice fiberglass front clip and flat fiberglass hood. I have also added a halo and front pillar bars to the 8 point roll bar making it a 10 point cage. I tried to post them in a certain order but when they posted they were all mixed up. I'll keep these here a couple of weeks and then post further progress pics.

No it's being transformed into a fastback. The next set of pics will show the addition of an X brace to the back two rollcage bars, the installation of the fibergalss doors, fiberglass trunk lid, fiberglass rear bumper and the begining of the fastback top installation. I think the next set of pics also shows the car with the cowl hood that was on the coupe.

Thanks! Yeah, the cage is getting and X brace at the back, (already done)a cross over bar below the dash from pillar bar to pillar bar and foward bars going to the shock towers and from the shock towers to the front of the chassis. The last bars are already installed.
