Cage Boxes, Wall Metal, and a Welding Table! (Patreon)

In today’s little update I did three things! For one, I plugged all the holes on the inside of the rear hatch area with some 16ga sheet metal! I did this mostly for aesthetics, but also because the inside walls by the main hoop had to be sealed off for the firewall.

After that, I went ahead and designed some cage boxes. These lift the main hoop off the floor of the car so later, when we need to weld the top of the cage, we can remove these boxes to drop it down a few inches. Unfortunately I’ve been waiting the past 4 days to get the proper metal for these cage boxes (the ones pictured are just made out of 16ga steel). I can’t really make any more progress until the boxes are done and the main hoop is tacked in.

The third this is that I got a welding table. Yay! This thing is going to be a game changer.
