      Lol I wish, it's going to be a little difficult to fit it.

          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.

                            I finally got everything tacked in last night besides the door bars.

                              Hassle? Fun? Not bad?

                                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?
