I'm doing Jumpin Jacks, but the car is not

It already is so - that was a priority during the design. There is 12” on clearance under the back horizontal bar to the oem trunk floor liner.
I’m waiting to get an official quote back from my powdercoater - will have a priced worked up then

The prototype was done in mild steel. Next step is to build a full production version with the better material and send it off to powder coat. Everything will be tig welded. Official pics, all that fun stuff, let the games begin. Probably going to put this one back in the car and snap some pics of the fitment - very happy with how it turned out. Starting work on the close out panel now. Once we have production ready to go I'll put a post in the sponsor's classifieds

Also, is it going to be 2 pieces for easier shipping or just 1? |

We wanted this to be easy to install, safe, retain as much rear visibility as possible, and allow for tire passage into the void left from the seat removal. Feel like we were able to achieve all of this. Oh and definitely 2 piece - have no desire to try to ship these as one piece unless specifically requested by a customer. There are couplings/connectors on the prototype in the pic - bit hard to see with the paint.

Update on my Aug HPDE crash
Hey all, I've attached a pic of the car getting ready to be auctioned off as a Salvage Titled car.
Car hit in the absolute worst spot where the Jersey Barrier/tire wall ends in a "V" shape. Pit in/tow track access location. My Insurance Co covered me for the Accident at the HPDE. It took 9 weeks, with an interview, a download of the data from the OBD II port etc... I was out lapping in the Instructor Run Group when she snap spun 180 degrees on me. Never had a chance to catch it. No one in front or behind me at the time. Not pushing very hard either... Was on a set of Yoko A052's at the end of their heat cycles, but still with tread. I'm already out shopping the market for a 2019 or 2020 M2C 6 spd built before May 2019. Wht, Blk or Hock Silver. Need to be able to tune it. :-) I'm from New England if you know of any cars.. I'm pissed I couldn't get the AP's and the exhaust off it, but was able to swap out a bunch of other items before it was stored at this yard. To be continued.... HAZMAT

I got a check for several thousand more than what I originally paid for the car. I lost about $8k of mods on it... I'm very pleased and am willing to wait for the right replacement M2C.
