Sweet cage. Nice fit to the A and B pillars. Can't wait to see it at Sebring.

Dan, Wait tilll you see it in person, it is a thing of beauty with some amazing detail. If possible it is a step up from my last cage!!!!!! I can not reccomend his work enough (I heard he also had some good input )
Dan were you on the Merritt Parkway yesterday around 3ish pulling your trailer?

I most certainly was (unless I drove you off the road in which case it was not me )

It wasn't me but my wife saw you. You do know that trailers are not allowed on the Merritt don't you? Is that Baron's old car?

Did you notice how low those bridges were on the MP? I pulled my open trailer there last year and wondered if my tractor would clear. Sweat bullets for 22 miles, but no police. May have been the only time I was happy to see the New York state line!

Car is now ready for Sebring and I could not be happier with the results now the cage is painted. Big thanks to Hairy Dog Garage, Cagethis.com and Julios Restoration

Do you think I should have gone a little greener?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'd say that looks relatively solid.

Bill Doyle at www.cagethis.com is a rally guy and builds a real sturdy cage.

Looks great Dan!

FYI, your passenger side shoulder belts are mounted incorrectly, they need to run back through the 3 bar slide once more.

Some of the older restraint systems were designed to be routed that way, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that setup is one of "those". Most of the time you would be corret tho.
