This was the mock up took 3 hours to get them close! When i finished welding it in i used 2 engine cranes and lifted the car off the floor by the cage just to see what would buckle!! Not even a crease!

Got the car on the cheap and it was easy enough to build with my budget and fun.its never gonna be championship lap time setter but its good to do a morning warm up session so the csl doesn't get worked soo hard!!
I did lots of brands days this summer it was soo hot the sweat ran down my arms and i to my hazard switch causing all sorts of problems so i thought yeah grab a convert!!
