Boxilla Cage Photos
More Boxilla cage photos. Actually painted the bars satin black yesterday after these photos were taken. Can't wait to get the body panels back on. We left about 6 inches of A-pillar to make a stubby wind screen. Here's the front.

Caged!
So here are photos of BOXILLA's cage. Also, used the original A-pillars and made a stubby 5-inch tall Lexan windscreen. Now the next project will be "finish" body work and a full wrap.

H&Rs for Boxilla's Baby Brother
Finally put the H&R springs on my street car. Not harsh. Nice cornering. Way better stance.

18" TechArt Formulas. They're about $800 ea. H&R spring set is about $300.

Install is free if you do it yourself, but NOT a job for amateurs. A shop would charge about $1200 for install. And new alignment is essential.
