Crap. If I drive out of here Friday night, I get there around 4:30am. I wish it was on Sunday. Typically I leave at 3:00pm on Sunday and I'm back here by 9:30pm.

We will see.

I wonder if he still wants to open a restaraunt?

Yes, he has been the best guy I have worked with in the Porsche race car fabrication/repair biz. Honest, realistic and does work effeciently and cost effectively.

Clearly you have no appreciation for SF Bay Area traffic at commute hour. Bill will be lucky to get home by 6 PM.

Ok...I just got home...it's 7:19pm....

A little thing about Doris and I going out for a quick bite to eat.

The cage is AWESOME!!!!

Get this....you know how most other spec cars have the end caps of the dash cut....not Tony...

You know how some cages you can see from the street in the A pillars and make you feel claustrophobic?.....not Tony...

And you know how some bars go through the AC directional vents?...not Tony...The vents are left stock...I may even be able to use flex hose and still make the AC run through the side vents as well, not just the center vents. Totally trick! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

GT3 style X bracing in the main hoop and in the attachment points behind the motor, yet there is no blocking of rearward visibility. And he moded the hard top and radiused the bends of the cage to match the hard top contour. You cannot see the upper halo while looking at the car from the side.

Do you guys really want pics now? It's dark and I'll have to unload and take pics in the dark....I still need to clean up the garage to fit the car in it.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Oh...and did I mention that all of the cage was TIG welded....no MIG on the thing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

This thing is a work of art!
