I have a black fd3s rolling shell with a roll cage already in it.... Next year ill hopefully have saved cash to build it ......

Anyway.

I'm going to be making a brace that goes across the transmission tunnel. That along with an upper strut brace, chassis leg brace and perhaps maybe some stitch welding between the bulkhead and inner wings / chassis rails in the engine bay would be all you need for "fast road"??

I would weld up the rear bulkhead first and brace the front end
