My shop is just south of the loop on 288. I've already sourced just about everything. The car is down to a tub and ready for a cage. I'm looking to do a modern style cage like the newer cup cars have. Any suggestions on cage builders?

Be sure to have your hardtop before you do your cage. Also wiring,ecu, and fuse box relocating is easier to do before cage is installed. Also easier, or at least more complete to do with engine and transmission out of car.

Richard Tomlin is my guy. He's down in Alvin. He does a lot for the members of MSR. Good guy as well. I believe he goes under Apex Vinyl on FB. I can send you his contact info if you'd like.

Greg Lucas just put mine in. I'm picking it up this week and will post pics afterwards. Here's an early pic.

The cage looks good. Let me know when you get it all finished I'd like to see some more pics. Looking at the picture you have now. Is it possible to remove the stock crossbar? It looks like the lower dash tube would prevent that.

I'm actually building a new house in Pearland. Should be done in the next month or so. I'm picking up the car this week, so you can swing by some time and check it out. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them.

I'm not sure if the crossbar can come out with the lower tube in. But there are a lot of tubes I know nothing about. [that's what she said].

And, I didn't move the fuse box. oops.

If you Houston guys want to get together and grab a beer and go over our builds I'd love to meet up.

Lucas has done cage work for me also. I've been very happy with his work.
