Same old game - days off getting farther apart and I'm going to McMaster part time to finish my B.Tech.

Updated the Solidworks model with cage:

Plated the rear strut tower tops and fitted the rear tower member of the cage. Also cut out the rear floor to the frame rails so I can start on fuel cell frame.

Hit up BendTech for the main hoop - thanks Joe!

Cut the main hoop base at ~9 degree angle towards the rear so it sits flush at base when hoop was in place. This is a temporary fastener for subframe btw - inverted socket head shoulder bolt will be the final.

Didn't wanna waste $100 on a lift plate - cut piece of scrap 1/4"x6"x18.5" plate, drilled 10 holes, zipped two 1" pieces of scrap pipe, ground flats on each of them to sit square and just need to weld er up. $2 lift plate (cost of fasteners haha)
