Plan on running a custom dash, just waiting to finish the tube work to see what we can do.

Quite a bit. Material was most of the cost, we are using a mix of DOM and HREW to try and save costs. The cage will also be going through the firewall to the front bumper. Then all mounted to the frame. Lots of work still to do.81K5GUY said:

looking good, a lot more head room than your old setup.
How are your mounting it to the frame or body?

Sandwich plates on the body and really not sure on the frame yet. Might use bushings or might weld straght to the frame.

That thing looks sweet. I think I found the cage design I'm gonna steal
. Once I get close to putting it in I'm definitly gonna hit you up for some measurements/dimensions. I was afraid of running into the same problem you originally had with head room--with me being 6'1.
looking forward to seeing the finished product...keep those pictures coming
