Just an update on the cage the main hoop back is all done and welded up. Austin started on the front half today and had some fairly solid progress.

That’s for the handle, not the actual chute. Looks good, I’ll probably be stopping in sometime to discuss a cage as long as you don’t mind working on dumbestics 🙂

yea thats the handle mount that will hold the handle itself, then a cable will run to the back of the car where the actual chute will be itself.
except mine will be mounted horiztontally so if i leave it on it wont be hanging down in my face. the window net, chute, and chute mount handle are removeable in my case so when i drive the car around on the street i wont have to deal with them. however i will probably leave the parachute on out back just for badass factor

Looks good. How is it thru the dash ? Are the vents just removed and the tubing is thru that ? Or just cut a u shape ? I don’t remember what our interior looks like Lol
