Well it has been a while. Had my second kid on Sept. 1st. So was very busy for a while. Also bought a new Jeep and had to do some building on it. But I am finally back to my madness. Started doing the door bars tonight. Had to cut the body out for welding access of the cage. Guess thats what i get for making the cage so tight in the car.
Enjoy!
This is why I had to cut the body
Here is the first design
Just at lower shoulder
Second option
Lowered the door bars at the seat side a little
over an inch.
Prob going to do this option long as all is legal. I have to double check the rules later before i start putting them in. Still got to hang the doors.

Derr, yes I forgot to mention the hood vents. I wasn't trying to re-invent the wheel, so I stole this cage layout:

Thanks again BTW Rob
It'll basically just be for track days, but in case I decide later I'd like to take it up a notch I'll have the option.
I don't know how I managed to miss that member. THANKS!
Anytime. Been a pleasure visting with you and having you come over and see the car. Pics dont do justice.

So I will be starting back up on this build in the next couple weeks. I am having another kid the beginning of September. I have been busy getting ready for the baby and also building a new Jeep. Now that its all to par will be taking it to the Rubicon this weekend. As for the car I am going to be selling all the engine parts and my custom 300zx tranny. I just got a corvette 327 for the car for free in top notch condition. So keep your eyes open for this build will be back up and going in a couple weeks
-
I put the build on hold. Bought a new jeep so been working on it. I will post a few pics later of it. Going to start working on the z next week again. Needed a little break.
-
Today I did do some work on it. I a doing an '86 5 speed out of a 300zx and took it to my machinest to have my old bell hounding off the 4 speed machined. It turned out perfect. Gotta love CNC. I will post pic tomarrow and a little vid of the action

So I'm working on building a simple rotisserie out of a pair of engine stands, and as I was checking measurements I realized that the heads on the stands aren't level. They're slightly inclined, which I'm guessing is so that when the weight of the engine is on them, the deflection would level them out. Is this the case, or are they just designed so the engine is at a slight angle? The reason I ask is because I want to find out if i need to level out the heads or if I should leave them alone and allow the weight of the body to deflect them a little?
I would level them out so it would be easier to rotate the car on the heads.

Yea I wish. Only new about 2k more to get the z driving and on the track.
I do yearly Rubicon runs and prob more now that I will be able to bring the family w/ me
