Awesome!!!
Look at those meats on the back!
What size tires are those?
Is it mild steel or chrome-moly?
*Edit: n/m, just saw the 4130 printed on the tubing.
Love the motor plates!
Love the rims!
Looks way better than mine.

That is a really cool cage. I am wanting to put a cage in my car really soon. Would you mind if I stole a ton of your ideas, and worked up a CAD Drawing of it? Then send it to you to see how close I am?
Do you think you will be able to put the stock dash back in with some cutting. I want to run the stock interior, and I want to have swing out bars at the door.

That is one great looking ride. I look forward to seeing this one to the end. I do plan on working on a CAD Drawing of it, as I plan to work on a Cage in mine this winter. For some reason, I work much better when I have overthought what I am doing. I am not 100% sure I could get in your car with the bar where it is in the door, but it looks to me like the homework was really done on this one.
