    dont know if you read it, but that's actually vermont sports car doing the work.
    here's a story... the BPG e30 m3 track car is up at vermont sports car right now getting a cage built. a tech at work knows one of they guys at VSC. i personally brought the car up there, and i saw in person the process you can see in the pics, its fucking unbelieveable, i had the opportunity for a tour, and saw a car in pretty much every stage of building, it was an awesome experience, and wish i brought my camera, the shop is unbelieveable

              I know VSR is different you dope! ;)

              VSR is to small, we need to find a new location... the shop size is no longer sufficient for our needs.

              I'm talking about the fabrication work. :D

                    Honestly, and not trying to sound like a prick... you havent seen anything cool there yet.

                    Its the stuff you haven't seen yet that is really trick. ;)

                    I'll un-vail one of these 'things' when the time comes..... 8)

                              Thats cool how the top of the rear shock tower is built into the rear seat, so you dont have to go throught sheet metal for the cage. Do a lot of cars have that?

                              I bombed Korea every night.
