Pulled the cage out today to weld it up. I had a couple of errands to run so I only got about 80% done. I still need to cut the base plates and finish up a couple of welds. Ordered a Garrett 2nd gen core designed 3000hp IC, water tank and some misc stuff today also.

Thanks guys. I've been super busy lately so I have not had time to do much. The cage is completely welded and ready to be welded to the outriggers and the base plates. I'm going to wait until my extra set of wheels gets here so I can check the clearance on the rears. I think I am going to have to mini tub it and want to make sure I have clearance where I need it. I went ahead and ordered:
C & R Racing 22 x 19" radiator with Spal Extreme fan and shroud
Chiseled Performance 3000hp Intercooler
Chiseled Performance 5.5 gallon water cell with 1" fittings
Misc exhaust parts 5" aluminum tubing
BFG Drag radials 325/50 15s
Custom Weld Alumistars should be shipping any day
Throttle cable and bracket from Lokar
Should have some more pics this week.

This is by far one the best projects I have seen roll out of a home garage. Excellent work. I can't wait to see this creation on the track.

Made alittle more progress, took a couple of nights to get the paint stripped off the cage and all of the remaining sound deadening material on the floor. The cage is ready to be welded to the chassis. I had to cut the rear sway bar out and make new mounts to get enough travel for the rear suspension. I've got some 1/8" plate to make the new ends for the sway bar. We also switched over to 325/50 drag radials and they fit perfectly. Finally recieved the adapter for the quick release steering wheel. Hopefully we'll get some more parts to get moving again. Here are the current pics.
325/50 Drag radials
Rear shots: Got the rear bumper cover cut and chute release in place.
Side view:
Quick release steering adapter from Mark Williams Engineering, we used a .750" piece of DOM tubing between the adapter and the steering hub.

Moving up front started the IC pipes. I used 4" aluminum mandrel bends from global technologies, very inexpensive for the bends.
I'm debating about making the section right above the valve covers removeable to allow for easier plug access.

Is the rear narrowed ? If so how much ? What is the backspace of those wheels. I am trying to get my mustang to get that tucked in look like yours. Thanks for any info. I love your project and good luck with it.

Well, I got a couple of goodies tonight. I called a couple of the board vendors and wasn't really impressed with what I heard so I called a buddy that I ordered my 5" v-band clamps and man he hooked me up. Here's what he sent, if anyone needs a deal on an intercooler let me know.
