Yea that was part of my thought when i bought it. Going to try designing a cage for it soon.

Definitely different, I like it. I'm thinking about using 17x9.5 Corvette front wheels for a drag radial set up, everything bolt up perfect?

 

[Slowvert135i]

You'll have to run massive spacers on the front to fit them and have to either port the hubs open or cut the hub ring down on a lathe
