Congrats!!!!


A build like that sure does take time but in the end it will all be worth it. You and your dad have put alot of hard work into it to get it to this point and the stance really looks great Keep plugging away and soon it will be track time

Thanks, Rick.

Looks great Chad!
I would agree on s&w cage kits. I just finished one in a Duster this evening. Although I did modify the a-pillar bars to fit better. I personally would rather have the full length a-pillar bar that goes to the main hoop with a windshield bar.
Can't wait to see it at the track. Beep
