Started to paint the cage that's in my car. I didnt install the cage, i bought the car with it.

In the halway painted pictures, you can see the doors aren't covered, because i'm painting with them open.

It's just a rattle can paint job until i get time to gut the interior.

im impressed with how stiff the cage and subframes make the car(like picking it up with a jack by one axle and getting very little body twist)

Its good that you got it now before it turned brown.

Have you considered deleting the back seat with that cage?

My previous Mustang had a really stout 6 point in it with some through the floor subframes, and if i tried to jack up one corner to change a tire, the whole side of the car would come up. That car was stiff as hell. You'll definitely feel it on the street, but keep in mind that a stiffer chassis will make a less than adequate suspension even worse.
