I forgot to grab the camera but, the cage has been started.

The guy doing the cage, never touched the car after cutting the floor, leaving it all to sit out side for a few months.
In other news, I didn't burn the car or garage down tonight. The welds are ugly and no where near good but, they didn't break with repeated hard blows with a hammer. I'll take that as a plus. I burnt through a few times, figured out how to not blow through the new and old metal.

Cell phone pictures from the guy doing the work. Next weekend, I'll drag it home, clean it up and get some paint on things.

Got the car home today and started the process of cleaning up the tubing and painting it. After that is done, it'll be time to get the engine bay coated, primed and painted then...Build a rear end perhaps?

The cage is doing its week long curing thing so, I toss the seat back into it and started to get ready to tackle the engine bay. I'll be doing the wheel house/upper rails in satin black over Por15 and the engine bay in the factory metallic gray once its stripped and coated. I am debating on if I want to fill the holes or not. It's not a show car and, all it really would do is add that extra pound of weight.
I also need to figure out a dash. The factory dash does not clear the dash bar and would need to be cut to let the bar come through. The idea for a Mustang dash has been with me for a while now, just to make saving the weight easier and mounting a Racepak.

I put one more coat of Por15 down on everything that matters. I'll let that cure out for a day or two then spray the wheel hose in that roll cage paint, to make it satin black and prime the engine bay, to get it ready for color.

Figuring out the order to bolt all this crap together sucked but, the brake pedal, booster, steering column and all that jazz is finally in the car for good. Though, now I see just how dirty everything has gotten.

I'm not sure if the cuts are worth it but, I guess the illusion of the door feeling has much as the other does. There is still some to cut out and some trimming to do but, that's for tomorrow.

The camber/caster plates came in today so, I had to toss them on to see what they look like. I also tossed on the mock up Strange struts since they didn't fit the stock strut mounts. All I know now is, full droop is what ride height use to be.

Decided to toss the fender and a wheel on, to see what it will look like if, it ever stands up.

Holy shit, I made something! I mean, it's complete crap but, you have to start at crap to make it up to garbage...right?
Got the Flaming River rack in the other day so, that got tossed into the car and, I made the steering shaft. It looks like I need to go to the store and get another set of outer tie rods for this rack. When I de-powered the factory rack, I switched over to all SN95 stuff and this rack, uses Fox based parts. I should have read up a bit more before assuming it would all go together magically.

So, I took advantage of the semi warm weather and dusted the car off. The water that came off of it, was worse that most rest stop toilet water.
