The cage progress on the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 was going like gangbusters... til we got to the seats and somebody tossed the anchor overboard 
I hate seats... why can't we just strap ourselves to the floors and call it good?
Actually, the seat installs (yes installS... there's two of them :blech:) are going fairly well. The Sparco seats are going to be attached to a framework off of the cage itself rather than bolting to the floor.
I'm making them adjustable, but only for initial fitting. The owner is based out of Iowa, so we'll be fitting the seats to him when he comes to pick the car up, possibly next week. If all goes right, we'll play with the angle, play with the fore/aft placement, tack the seat brackets in place, pull the seat(s) and finish up the welds.
The factory seat brackets had to be removed in order to get the seat as low as possible. The floorpan/tranny tunnel has been extensively massaged (read, cut) to make room for the seats and framework. I became reintroduced to the beauty of the air hammer with the right fitting.
The cutting chisel was a god send. I discovered the spot weld cutter a little late in the project, but it worked very well. The only downside to the air hammer is that things can (and do) go wrong quickly The 3000GT actually has a floor and subfloor throughout most of the cabin. This is making things a little interesting, especially for reforming the floorpan... but that's for next week.
1 3/8" tube was used for the framework with 1.75" tube split to form collars that the brackets weld to. This will allow us to move the collars along the frame for final fitting.
On the Neon front... we're racing this weekend! We'd hoped to do the T&T, but it just wasn't in the cards today. Almost 1pm before we had the car unloaded and the paddock area set up for the weekend. Steve may have run a couple of sessions, but I missed out as I had to be at my real job @ 2p.
