Ended up going through some DOM trying to make some front down tubes that hugged the front pillars. After 2 attempts, I decided to go the normal route.
Finally got the car off the rotisserie for a bit so that I can start the cross bracing.

Done for this weekend, I might pick away at the side impact bars and dig into the rear this week if I get out of work at a reasonable hour....

Put in some hours today, it's crazy how long it took me to cut and fit 7 pieces... but after a long frustrating day I got the side impact cross bars done and the under dash bar too.

Back in the shop tonight and got the cage roughed out and tacked in.
A little smokey from the welding and cutting....

Spent some time in the shop today and go the cage finished. Would have got it done earlier but I ran outta gas for the welder. Plus I didn't like the way one of my braces came out and I went a different route with the roof braces. It take a lot longer to cut out a tube after it is finished welded in. ![Mad](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)

Seeing as there is no welding supply places open on Christmas, I decided to do some paint removal on the roof.

Looks like the car was completely stripped at one point and a real heavy coat of primer filler was used, then primer and it was sprayed with a single stage red, but not body filler. so I am happy about that.

So apparently every welding supply place in my area takes the day AFTER Christmas off too. Due to this, I was out of my Argon mix and coudn't get any more welding done on the rain gutter delete so I decided to look at another project today.
Trying to figure out where to put this!![EEK!](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)

The fit is pretty good, gets more weight off the rear and into the nose.

Now that it is roughed in I can figure out line routing. I am planning running the supply line through the cabin and building a metal shield to cover it and also making a panel to complete the fire wall up front.

Ok, back in the shop this weekend. I am cutting out the 930 harness ( I have the 87 as a back up) in preparation for getting the chassis primed. I am deleting a bunch of items and the factory hanress will either get a diet OR I am planning on going this route with wiring Painless Performance: 12 Circuit Universal / Streetrod Harness / Non GM Keyed Column . Seems like an easy way to update and simplify the system. Has anyone worked with this product?
Update,
What a pain in the *** this harness was to get out. I think I'd be much better off running a new harness.
