    It's not gonna be all track, I'm just doing a 4 point cage, and am probably gonna daily drive it until I rebuild the engine to handle that high horsepower. Looking like I might be selling my truck to fund this guy! Unsure of it, as of now. I'm planning on going out to the shop a little later...
