Either you can pick up **** REAL FAST, or you are B.S'ing us and have been a Master welder for years.

Those nickles on that Alum looks great! From my understanding, it is not easy to weld Alum. Props to you Bro!!!

Do the bars for the rollcage go thru the dash? I would like to see pics of it.

I would be interested in a turbo kit as well.
