Been in past the shop this week still nothing been done..he needs material for doing the tunnel and space frame which wasn't mentioned before. So I've ordered 8m of 45mm x 1.5mm thick seamless t45 for the spaceframe. Not sure if that's enough or too much etc but I'll order more if needed. Also ordered 2m x 1m of mild steel sheet for the tunnel as I'm not using the cavy stuff. Hopefully this stuff turns up quickly.
Sounds like normal bodyshop/garage/builder stalling. They all do it.
Someone more knowledgable might be able to comment here but the 45x1.5 seems a little thin to me. I used 45x2.5 which is what custom cages had used on the the nova cage.
EDIT: Just seen that you are using T45, mine was CDS. Ignore me! lol
Haha I was going to say I was on the phone to custom cages and they use 3 different thicknesses for various parts of the nova cage.
I've got a sheet of mild steel, it's just under 1mm thick. Is this too thin?
My t45 also turned up today.

Will be .8 gague steel I'm sure 1.5 would be better for the tunnel and seat mounts could be wrong though
T45 dropped off at the shop.
Just ts going with the cavy tunnel set up instead it's exactly what's needed it's all been cut to size etc and will save hassle and hopefully look pretty factory.
Got some parts yesterday. 2x sets of fibreglass rear quarters. An exact mould of original gm ones and got my mirrors. The rest of the parts will be delivered soon just finishing touches to go. Unbelievable how light the quarters are though.
no idea if the spaceframe has been started or not yet, I've not been to the shop since I dropped off the material almost a month ago.

Quarters look very good
Mirrors are cool. So youll have standard width but FG?
