Sounds good Jason! Which cage did you get?

But I'm thinkin maybe that night in Boyce's garage has warped your mind. Pretty soon your gonna be ripping the door panels off & trying to figure out how to replace the electric window motors with hand cranks.

hehe I hear you on the carpet.

IF my car ever makes it back in my damn shop Mine is coming out and the cheap stuff is going in

Gotta be a way to get down to 3,450 with me in the car from my heavy 3,750!

I know Wheels will cut 100 right out the top but then it gets tricky...but I have ideas

Keep us up to date on this!

BTW make sure you tie in the rear shock towers or you WILL regret it

i went with the wolf 6 point cromoly weld in. pretty easy install, if i could tig worth a damn, but thats what paint is for. Had to do a little grinding on some of the bars to make them fit right and still had to build up some weld on a one of the front tubes. it was just time consuming, don't worry mark the door panels are comming

Elis, when i get ready to tub the car ............. then i will worry about the shocks being tied into the cage

Just remember my warning when you are looking for that strange clunk/popping noise
