Here's some updates for those of you that don't make it into Racing Innovations' shop forum:

https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/r...-midiablo.html

Chad & his crew got the cage done, as well as many other odds and ends I wanted and needed to have done to the chassis!

Big props to N8SecStangg & Racing Innovations!

I think the next round of tricks will be performed by Chad too. His awesome quality of work, great pricing, and awesome customer service really impressed me.

I'm thinking we'll go ahead and finish off the trunk while he's got the car. Thinking about having him fab up my dual battery tray/rack/mount, etc, along with the volt-meter and charging pins, etc in the fuel door.

Then who knows... Maybe get the motor together finally

Okay, so it's been a while since I was able to make any forward progress on the car myself because Chad at Racing Innovations was a welding fool and had a ton of work to do to the car!

Well today I was finally able to coordinate a party at Racing Innovations - I was able to see 351Coupe and Slow Poke as well as the infamous n8secstangg - and pickup the ole Frank$ter!!

Not much else to say about the quality of craftmanship that I received other than STELLAR! I'll let the pictures do the rest of the "talking" - enjoy:

Wolfe Racecraft Rear Seat Delete Install:






RJS Window Net Install:










ART Mild Steel Cage Install:




















(in two of the images above you can see the Steeda Full Length Tubular Subframe Connectors Installed & attached to the downtubes from the rear main hoop )

Cheetah Shifter Plate Cover & Install:


Wild Rides Upper & Lower Torque Box Reinforcement Kit(s) Install:






Kirkey Racing Seat & 5-Point Harness Install:






***Not Pictured: Lakewood D/S Loop welded in to the undercarriage, ART Cage attached through firewall to strut towers and then to frame rail.***

When I got the car home, it was a little dirty - shop dust had settled in - so I even convinced the fiance to chip in a little elbow grease to clean the car up











We washed the car, and then I clay bar'd it and waxed it. Then I installed the newest addition to the car



MANY MANY THANKS to Chad @ Racing Innovations. This guy delivers what he promises, and then some! He was done sooner than he promised, did a higher quality of work than he promised, and the prices were RIGHT!
