Dude, people run 8 point cages with full interior.
If your going to strip your car. Do it right, actually prep **** correctly and use real paint.
I know your younger and your excuse will be i don't have the money for that.
Well my answer will be then don't do it all, just wait and focus on things you can afford. Like smaller maintenance ****. Get that **** running top notch.

I think Nick got ragged on enough already to make up for all the gay stuff that he does. HAHA.
He is learning as he goes and has a few people helping guide him along the way. He definately does listen to any advice that we give him and if you actually have good advice for him, then he will prob listen. He has already had the "talk" with alot of us about not turning his car into a bag of rice and the right way to do things.
He is going to get his car running then he will get suspension then worry about power later down the road. He is getting more work done to his car than I am getting done on my car and I actually have a pile of parts sitting in front of me.
Thats my 3 cents
pccccccc

The car is gonna sound bad *** with the header. I painted it but your going to want to let it bake itself on when you start the car. Let it idle for like 10 min then shut the car off and let it cool then start it for another 20 min at idle and let it cool then go out for a drive and everything should be good to go.

Alright, just hope i don't run into alot of problems..I started running some wires today for my fans..And well, ended up taking off my driverside fender to run some really neat, then i have to take off the passenger side, so ima take off the whole front end i guess. I found some rust i never saw before. I wanna fix that..Also, inside my fender well there was an ant hill...it was gross...and now i have ants all over the garage. Pissed. haah.

The passenger side is just the plug for the wiper motor. Take that harness out and re-route it inside the engine bay. The drivers side is a little harder. Chad did a write up but the site is down right now. You need to cut the lip and bend it back or just hammer it and bend it good. Then you need to hammer a groove in to the chassis and use zipties or safety wire to hold the harness in place.
