Almost done the cage. Thought I would throw up a few pics.

Started the progress shots a bit late, but you can get the idea. I still need to finish the overheads, tie in the seats, and do the frame tie ins. I'll update with those pics later on.

Have a bud thats a bodyman Doogy.

He matched it up as best he could and sprayed them for me.

With the paint code, you can get a paint shop to make you up some rattle cans.

Finally starting to look like a jeep again.

What's the story with the bent steering wheel?

Nice looking cage, what did you use for the tube (demensions), I want to build similar but plan to run my cross brace at shoulder height to tie in a five piont harness properly.

1.75" 120 wall DOM.

Except the lower dash spreader, 1.5" 120 wall.

My harnesses will mount to the outer B-bar and on the V's.

Doesnt matter where you put them as long as the mounting points are not past 15 degrees higher, or lower then your shoulders.
