Daily Update: Finished the rear window lacing, C-pillar side gussets and lower door bar tubes. Waiting on seats from PRP to start setting seat mounts up. This weekend I'll work on the dash tube and tying into the existing engine cage.
Update: I got the dash tube fitted in and all 4 tie ins from the existing engine cage to the dash tube. This ended up being a royal pain in the ass. The center tubes are sleeve with slugs so those where pretty strait forward. The outer edge tubes ended up getting but welded into the engine cage with a partition plate in the center. ( it was the only way to actually get them into place) I will add additional gusseting around that node. Then got the A pillar to frame tie in's done. The cage kit only come with the small tube going from the A pillar to the side of the frame I added the extra tube going back to the radius arm mounts. The single tube seemed pretty mickey mouse IMO.
Finished up the dash intrusion tubes aka the "A" in the windshield. Also added an additional tie in for the rear C pillar to the leaf spring hanger. The rear C pillar tube runs across the back and bolts to the 2 rear most body bolts so these outer tubes are just an additional point of contact not included with the kit.
Also side note in the last picture you can see some horrendous mig welds. I cheaped out a bought the amazon special "Blue Demon" Chinese bullshit weld wire and my god it welds awful!!! DO NOT BUY IT. Back to the expensive Lincoln L-56 wire.
