I haven't been too intimidated by many projects ("Sure! Lets rip the roof off and build a second story on the house... and live in it while we do it!"), but the FD RX7 in the shop now has me on my best behavior. This 3rd Gen is by far the nicest vehicle to come in to have some work done. Black on black with imaculate leather interior, this car has its fair share of car show wins... so let's toss it into a shop with lots of sharp metal, cumbersome tubing, sparks, dust & debris flying around!
So far so good though! The 6 point is underway with the rear 4 points almost complete. When finished, the rollbar will be NHRA & SCCA Solo & Time Trials legal. The doorbars will be removable using Chris Alston Chassisworks swingout's on both sides.
