Well I got the cage DONE today. All I know was this was a ton of work between shaping the plates and getting proper angles on the feet and notches. I am glad I finally gathered up some confidence and did this thing! Here are the pics from today. Had to beat this plate just a lil to make it fit haha ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1002.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1002.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1003.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1003.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1006.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1006.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1016.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1016.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1018.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1018.jpg) Many people were here today but only one wore my turbo blanket as a diaper haha.

I am so sore today. Also lol at the big cut in the middle of my forehead damn wire wheel tossed a rock at me. This is why I wear safety glasses! ---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ---------- > [@LUKE\_L](#): > > I got 4 weeks to get your shit done…I am taking time off to do just that.

You can really just put me to work on it if you want or just bring it over and we can get it started and I can do some of the labor intensive stuff too. Lets get together soon! I will have the car finished sans wiring and interior in the next two weeks I think. ---

Sobo and Luke came over yesterday and we got some work done. Luke created a masterpiece as we all battled hangovers ha. Engine harness is installed but oh boy is there a ton of wiring left. Some friends of mine from [norotors.com](http://norotors.com) even stopped over that were driving home to New Hampshire! Cool guys anyhow here are some pics Wiressssss ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1047.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1047.jpg) My task for the day was coil relocation. I didn’t take enough pics but I grabbed allthread rod, brackets, drilled holes and installed grommets, passed wires through, crimped and made wires(PITA) then put it all together. Bracket welded via Viper Specialty Performance ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1049.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1049.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1056.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1056.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1060.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1060.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1062.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG1062.jpg) Yeah I deff could have cut the wires shorter.
