Default Getting closer...........cage pics

Spent the better part of the last week and a half working on the roll cage, getting the 'glide in, and putting the harness and dash back in the car. Here are some pics of what we've finished........

What kind of cage is it, it kinda looks like a Wolfe cage. Is it Wolfe or custom? Thanks, looks great, Shawn

lol.....nah, only doing moderate weight reduction this go-round. far from being done, have some new things planned and it's all been taking me a while

as far as the cage:

it's a wolfe front half, the back bars and rocker bar on the drivers side are custom. from start to finish it all went relatively fast...we worked on it non stop for a few days.

Did you trim your bumper or anything to fit those tiires up in there? What size are they? Is the rear stock width? Sorry for all the questions nut i am in the middle of trying to figure out what to do with the rear end and tires. thanks for the help.

I've minitubbed the car to get the tires to fit. It has a narrowed rear in it. Here are some pics:
