Thanks all
Hoping to have it done in the next month but work and free time aren't getting along didn't have a chance to paint the cage yesterday so we will try again today. I'll be sure to keep the updates flowing along the reassembly process

Great work installing the cage. I'm sure that is really hard welding it in after you've already painted the cab etc. It is looking very nice though.

Built a custom fuel cell Friday it was my first big aluminum project all tig welded
Started with this:
Some snaps of some beads
Ended with this
Also finally got the seats fully mounted to the cage and floor and installed the parachute release on the cage before the cage touch up painting gets done

Progress is slow. Body work is moving along at a snail pace
I threw the rear axle together the other day
The custom order parachute came in red chute and silver package

Dual calipers just for holding force on the line? And are you going to run a sway bar in that tub that connects the control arm brackets, or is it just for strength?
Looks great!

The tube is just there for strength but I like that idea

Yes gm s10 front calipers
And yes it helps that I weld for a living lol
The big bad cars in town here are funded by shady means and or store bought so I'm very proud I'm doing all the fab and all the assembly myself in my meager shop
