Rustlestiltskin Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Why are you putting a cage in a 11 sec car or a car that has not even gone 11's yet? Been thinking this the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of job do you have? Wish i had money... Am I missing something, what is so expensive about this build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Few quick updates: Jon @ Moorespeed Performance LLC. did an absolutely masterful job on the cage. I've been absolutely floored with the service I received there and the finished product. Here's a sample of one of the welds (they all look like this): http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/Supra%20Build/DSC_1167.jpg Rear shot: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/Supra%20Build/DSC_1168.jpg Front shot: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/Supra%20Build/DSC_1169.jpg Me painting. I decided to use Rustoleum's hammer-finish paint in black thanks to some advice from Pakie (Biggu). I was originally going to spray bomb the cage, but after pondering how I was going to mask everything off, brushing the hammer paint on seemed like a much better option: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/Supra%20Build/DSC_1170.jpg Comfortable: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/14biggy/Supra%20Build/DSC_1173.jpg I have a hell of a busy day ahead of me tomorrow, but I'll be set to debut Friday. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Can't wait to see this car. Good build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Sweet build. Can I see how the hammer paint came out in person sometime? I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to paint my upcoming roll bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Chris, its the same way my cage was done if you remember seeing the SC. IMO it looks awesome and I talked alex into doing his that way as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'll have to actually get my ass out to a C&C this year and you can give me the details. I'm not that hot on the idea of masking off everything and spraying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Will do, I was like you not wanting to spray the car and brush on was much easier IMO, however its harder to get the hard to reach spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Man i just absolutely love this car. From seeing it a few years ago when it was a 60mm turbo car (I think not 100% sure) to what it is now is just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
