The build

§01 · Roll cages

Six points or twelve.

A cage is counted by where it ties into the chassis. More points, more of the car is carrying the load. Both start with a fitted main hoop, never a bolt-in kit.

§04 · The welder

Elijah Moua.

  1. 4.1

    First exhaust, age 15. A cheap welder and my own car. Real exhausts cost more than I had, so I built one.

  2. 4.2

    Welding school. Straight out of high school. Graduated.

  3. 4.3

    Aerospace. Day job: welder at Hartzell Aerospace. Parts that fly don’t get second tries.

  4. 4.4

    MouaFab. Nights and weekends, for the car scene I came up in. Building toward full-time.

§ In his words

“I love connecting with everybody.”

Car meets, builds, the people around them. The goal: a name the whole Twin Cities car scene knows.
