I dont wanna put a title.

So we've been slacking pretty seriously on the blog-post front as of late, I'm not gonna lie to you, the last post was just photos that had been sitting on someones camera phone for a while.... But progress has not ceased!  As of tonight, the cage is at 97%, it is only awaiting 1 taco gusset and welding to the feet plates before the car is ready for the dash to get put back in and some finishing touches.

Rear Stays with an X between them were cut, mocked up, then welded.

 Next up was a pair of lower rear stays.  Not required in the rules, we expect them to help out with chassis rigidity.
 

Then  it was time to put the final bars in the main-hoop, for those of you who aren't keeping track at home, there is 6 (count 'em!) bars meeting at the 2 top corners on the main hoop.  Strangely the notches don't come out looking all that out to lunch.  Here it is:
Now you can see how the notch fits together with 5 other bars, looks pretty busy eh?

Harness bars too!
Incase you were wondering, yes it was awkward to weld.
Lastly, we would like to welcome grindobot to the So Much Win  team!
