Does that cage go through the speaker holes? I want one but want speakers too.

 

No, it is about an inch to the outside of the holes.

I started with these:

Then, I had the welder bend the rear braces so they would trace the back window.
I wanted to keep the back seat for my 7 yr old.

Sorry, about the reflection.

 

Cool. I would ask what you paid but it wouldn't make a diff. in my neck of the woods.

 

cage was $169 from summit with $100 something for shipping.
another $500 to install it. $75 of that was for the bent seat belt mount.
Look really clean.

 

That works out to the hundred bucks a point that the shop quoted. I think I'll go that route. The guys around here can tuck in better I think, then a kit that is just prefab. I don't want it to be seen outside the car.

 

As you guys know my Camaro is done, so today I got back on the Austin gasser project. I disassembled all the sheetmetal up front yesterday and cleaned and painted all the joints. Today I reassembled it all and bolted everything together to form a one piece steel tilt frontend.
After getting it all solid, I built the hinge pieces and bolted them to the body. After that I set the sheetmetal assembly on the car and installed the hinge pins. It wont tilt all the way forward yet as I still have theose big old stock tires and wheels and it hits them. But my new Speedway gasser axle with GM discs is on the way, and then I can mount up my old skinnies and slots so it will fully open!




And just for fun; this is my neighbor's 1948 Austin gasser. Just two years newer, but totally different body!

 

I was gonna say holy sh*t Vall that was fast, then i read it was your neighbors lol.

 

got exhaust done on the camaro today

 

Yeah, I work fast, but not that fast!

 

Tried to get my 76 smogged which failed of course. /:
