Following the budget racer model. I'm not going to put a cage in my FIAT till after my 2010 season. So off to the Metal Super Store for some plates. Then the cutting began.

  • IMG 0730 BTW this stuff is heavy.
  • IMG 0731 Looks weird.
  • IMG 0732 I will grind the area down. Form the plate and then weld the plate and bar together. Then the plate too the floor.
  • IMG 0733 I will clean all of these. And put a plate in to make it easier to weld upwards.
  • IMG 0734 Ditto here.
  • IMG 0735 Cut these guy too low, but easy to correct.
