Also keep in mind you want to weld the cage in VERY SLOWLY or you can actually warp your car. Ive worked on high end race cars for years and ive seen several cars actually have to go on the frame machine because they welded the roll cage in and warped the car. Especally a fbody, and that goes double for ttop cars. Just remember to get the car level first, and let your welds cool or you will cause some damage.
Its not something alot of people ever think about, and its really so common
