Don't have any pictures of the latest progress with the jams painted and the base color down, but it is getting close. Here are pictures of all the body work done.

10 point roll cage? Been lookin at roll cages lately. With yours, I'm assuming there will be a back seat delete? Up to what number of contact points can you go to and still keep the back seat?

It would be easy to design a cage that kept the stock rear seat in place. The only problem is that the cross bar would make it damn near impossible to get in there. And if you did have an accident, getting someone out of that rear seat could take too long. That's if the persons head slamming into those bars in front of them just didn't kill them right away. That is my big hang up with people wanting a cage and a rear seat. It is more un-safe for those in the back. I would just make up your mind it is going to be a 2 seat race car, or leave the cage out and keep the power down to have a real street car. My two cents.

Understandable, but I tend to get stupid while cruizin on my own down some back country roads with lots of curves.. Every so often, I tell myself that it would be a good idea to have a cage incase I take a curve to hard and roll.. But, when contemplating the back seat and cage issue, I also go out on Sunday strolls with the family and need the back seat for the kid... So, thats where I'm torn. Maybe someday, my wife will make me rich and I can have two stangs; one as a two seater and the other as a family fun ride.

Can't wait to see pics of your finished product though! I really liked your choice of paint color when you show'd me a sample the other day.. It's going to look great! Keep us posted.

Lookin very nice Brandon.

BTW, I kept my backseat with my cage. Its a much nicer place to put your stuff and it retains a bit of a stock look.
