Trying to finish one small item per day after work, some progress from last night.
Footwell Plate Bent and installed, just needs to be cleaned up
Door brace on drivers side
Couple of items I did today
Had tabs welded on the catch can to mount in correct location.
Had the diff cooler bracket welded up. First coat of paint is laid but need to clean it up a little.
Aaron,
Good questions, my car should weigh in almost identically to the X. It is all the same components and cage material. I believe they came in at 3240 or close to that. I don't know for sure but will scale the car when done. I had a hardcore before this started so I am curious as to...
Steve, I priced an ACRX with paint the way I would want. With that in consideration I am almost dead even. This is taking the original price of my car not the current value. When subtracting the loss I would take on my car I am $25K plus better than an X. Trust me I didn't want to do this...
Dave,
Due to the fact my car is not a "spec car from Dodge" I have to follow the rules as written. The rules state the main hoop must be on the same plane. The X cage makes two bends on each side down by the frame attachment point. If you notice in my pictures mine is straight from the...
Foot well plate
Differential Cooler (I could not find the molded plastic that directs air so I made one out of aluminum)
Of course the bending and welding of this still needs to be done, that will require a trip to a friends shop (I can't weld much less weld aluminum)
Here is...
Here are the roll bar attachment points. You will notice on the main hoop there is a gap that will be filled with a filler panel and sealant when I am done.
This is the main hoop attachment
Here is the front tie in
Here is the shock tower mounts
Some miscellaneous painted cage pics...
Here are a few pics of the cage when I picked up the car. I have painted the cage and installed the coolmat in the drivers compartment.

Gutted doors 8)
No motor
New wheels, I will be running Hoosier R6's as cost on the Michelen's is too high for my taste. I have another set being made right now.
Here are some random parts for the build
Fuel Cell
Headers and exhaust
ACRX KW Shocks and Springs
ACRX 2nd...
I thought I would start by explaining where I came from in the car world to where I am know. I know it is not important but I get asked a lot of questions when people see what I am doing.
I come from a Mustang background and have owned two Vettes in the past as well. I am more an Automobile...
You probably already know this but they don't come installed. I just wanted to clarify that any that are installed are owner installed. You may be just looking for suggestions and I would say make it what you want it to look like. Either in the open or mounted in the center console or glove box.
Call Arrow, they have a Gen IV Head kit with a modified intake set up for the 06. Send the heads to Greg for porting and have him spec a custom grind cam. You will have more than 620 rwhp if done right. The 08 exhaust will bolt right up with the new heads.
