      Molitor, I'm leaning towards get your car running and driving first, then worry about the cage.

          It'll get there. A cage is in the cards. One thing at a time is how I work but not how I think.

              I ordered the roll cage from rollcagecomponents.com. it took about 3 months to get to my work, so you can order it now and in three month you will have all the parts.

                Well I decided to build the step boxes for the cage and I ended up mounting the main hoop.

                      After some time, I finally got the majority of the cage in. I messed up on one piece and I cut it too short, but it was bound to happen. I'll just have to get another piece.

                            It wasn't too bad. Just figuring out where everything goes was not fun.

                              It's been a while since I've updated this thread. I took a break on the car to focus on family issues, but now I'm back and ready to spend some money. 

                              The first thing I did was clean the garage and move my car over. I also put it on the ground so I would get a little more motivated. 

                              Then I bought some coilovers, sway bars, control arms and tie rods. I got the majority if everything done besides the front coils.

                                  It's a 1969 Studebaker project I've also go. Then next to that is an 89 k10.

                                    Welp I finally got my front coilovers done when I got the right strut housings. Now I have a rolling chassis. Just for kicks I put the wheels from my black e30 on.

                                      I know that is just primer but it looked like light silver and I liked it. What color are you doing again?
