Well this is my first post here. Ive been building this 10 GT500 car. A friend of mine has been building the same car but wanted to put a cage in it that would be one like a road racing car would have. Mine, I just wanted it like a street/strip car, so just a basic cage. This is the 2nd model I have built and first one to do custom to. But onto the pics.

First thing I did was put together and paint the motor. I was working on a yanko camaro and felt like taking a break.

Then my friend talked me into cutting the front end off and make it sorta a tube chassis. I also cut the tranny mount so I could flex it enough to get the motor in and out since I was going to be glueing the interior on before paint.

I then started on the cage.

I then cut the holes threw the fire wall and put in the front tubes and painted it.
