The front tube work is complete and our ultra hi clearance skid plating is built and installed ! Even though this rig is super narrow , the seating is comfortable and all the shifters and controls are all easy to reach and provide a sports car feel !!!
The cage is taking shape and looking good!!! We're giving it some Tanner flava !! The Ramjet 350 looks like it was born there and this whole project is really cooking right along !!
Around Colorado Tanner has always been known as the place to go for the trickest tube work and fabrication but nobody has ever seen a cage like this one !! This baby is super clean and totally SICK !! Built out of 1 3/4" DOM and tied directly to the frame this cage is a one of kind that the "copycats" will have a hell of a time trying to duplicate !!
The bright blue powdercoat is complete on the cage and looks outstanding !! Now all we have to do is talk our customer into painting the nice new aluminum tub to match !! That might be a tough one !!
We don't know how the scratchs got on top of the cage !!!
