FURO · 11-04-2008

I know I said I was gonna post pics sooner. Just been very busy, so here are some. Its far from being finished.

Thanks FURO

What rear end are you going to use and how much weight do you think you will add with that cage? Will this be a complete tube frame when you finish?

Looks like it could survive a fall off a cliff! Nice work!

The rearend will be a M9 from Moser Engineering. Not sure on the weight at this time. Yes it will be a full tube chassis. Thanks for the good words.

Great work, thanks for sharing! Cage looks really nice and tight along the A-pillars and roof. Any pictures of how it ties in with the engine/front suspension?

I love the Atom. Just once, I'd like to take one of those out on a road track.

Heres a pic of the A-pillar bars with the stock dash.

davegt27 · 11-15-2008

you did not take the Dash out ?

it uses small Phillips screws that can be hard to see since the area gets filled with dirt

That is awesome! Might as well call it a racing cage with an opel shell on it

gtkid2 · 06-04-2009

wow, that is intense

Very nice Hot Rod! Everything looks really good and gives the impression that someone is going to be going FAST!

Please keep us posted on this build...
