Oh yes, there will be much bracing. Cage will be to PCA CR code with some nod to SCCA on stuff such as size of base plates and the like. SCCA has a tight set of rules and I will follow thwem so long as they dfon't add weight without reason. any that is not required to be 1.5/.095 or to keep me from getting hurt will get progressivly smaller or be made from boxed sheet.

Not sick at all, in fact feel free to do so, I will give you some sand paper as well.
It is real cool to see how the thing was put together and it is far more obvious when all is exposed than when in paint. This stamping got spot wellded to that one then the sub assembly was spot welded to some other sub assembly then all was presented and spot welded in. That kinda stuff. Real rough welding in many places you can tell where it was done by hand or not. I think much of the spot work was by hand as it is very uneven in aplication on places.
