Comments Off on The Digi & The Dash Come Together!

we made a good amount of progress over the past weeks now that we have the car in our hands. Finally this last weekend we were able to see the fruits of our labor. Shit is coming together!

The Cage is Done!

Huge props to the guys at Tyrol Sport for putting in the extra time to bang out the remaining items on the cage and get us out the door on schedule.

In order for Jason and I to get the car back together and make the Watkins Glen event at the end of July, we had to ask the guys at Tyrol to put in some extra time and get the car done by this past Friday so that we could have it over the weekend in order to get it prepped and painted. Although they wanted to keep it through Monday (today) I pushed, begged, and whined enough that they were willing to stay late and get it done on a hot and muggy friday.

I can’t thank the guys at Tyrol enough for working until 2am on Saturday morning to finish things up. Thanks guys!

Some pics our the party at Tyrol Sport on Friday night.

It’s been a while since our last update outside of the cage progress, but we finally have something to show. After a very long delay due to a really crappy carbon fiber supplier, we finally received our material and were able to get it waterjet, thanks to a friend of Jason.

The guys over at TyrolSport have been really kind to us with the updates – here’s some more progress…

after our initial test fit, we realized that although our helmets would most likely clear the halo diagonal once the padding was in place, it was best to give a some additional room. Tom added a kink which should provide a few additional inches of clearance.

the passenger side door bars have a 5* bend to bring them out as close to the inner doors skin as possible

the driver’s side has a much bigger kink to give us more room
