Made a little more progress today working on the cage... I'ld like to talk to the person that made it almost necessary to remove the dash just to get the carpet out of these cars... I didn't go that far but I was about ready to...
One of the folllowing pictures shows the passenger side foot for the cage... There will be three bars terminating here... The door bar, the rocker bar and the front down tube...There is lots of welding to be done... Corey has intentions of getting on that Friday...
We are going to try to get to the point where at least the six point full portion will be in and I can drive it to our Friday night gathering in San Antonio... Believe it or not, it'll only take an hour or so to get the interior back in shape... The rear seat wont go back in just for a weekend of driving...
The rough looking textured stuff on the flooring sheetmetal is a sound deadening material... and it is a pain in the backside to remove...I figured out that an aggresive burr bit in a die grinder works the best...
Also is a picture of the interior with Mike looking in from the other side... He's one of our San Antonio Gang and current college student...
