Thanks man....
Here is a little more progress... not much but, it's something. I still need to put the front cross bar for the side support and the two outer top tubes connecting the 1st hoop to the 2nd hoop. The 3rd hoop needs to be bent up... The 2nd and 3rd hoop will get the "X"... Did you ever get that feeling like you're going roll it?
Well, I got a little more done on the rollcage... man, it was a hot one today... I had a few design changes... Instead of doing the "X" on the 2nd hoop I am doing a "Y".. I will be fabricating a bolt-in crossmember with a mounting plate to tie it into the cage. Plus when it's time for a new body I can remove it all without any extra work. lol
Well, I got the other hoop bent and I should be able to tack together the rest of the cage by the end of the night...
Here is a short vid of me taking the "project" down the road... I need to hold the shifts a little longer...

I started getting the Hydroboost brakes installed today - after a full day of working in the yard ...

Let me try something else... she's ugly right!? How did you like the hot humid day...
Didn't get too far on the cage last night... between the cold frosty ones and the crappy weather (my excuses for laziness) this is what I did.
Weather SUX! Too damned hot to give a 'Rats' butt!! haven't got much done in the yard, got the new forks on the Harlley and a wee bit done on the hydroboost brakes for the Jeep.

Weather has been crazy... I guess that's what happens when the Gov't plays with it...
Anyway, below is another pic....
I have 90% of the cage together or tacked... Need another stick to finish it off...
Gett'n there
Was it a full HP run on the road? The video still is N/A

Hmmm, sometimes you have to stop the video and then restart it.Gett'n there

It was about 1/2 throttle slightly more... I still had plenty of room to the floor. On the way back I got on it and it spun the 35's then it caught and I shifted to 2nd. I'll have to wait for the full HP run until my holley comes back and the plates are on it. But, nobody here (wife) wants to ride in it... My buddy is leaving to go to Great Mistakes (RDC) I know he would... But, I'm sure I can find one of the guys that I work with to ride shotgun... I'll have a video recorder just in-case.
This would be a fun motor to put in a car that weighs 3200 lbs max.
