Are you putting quarter windows in the new panel or going to roll that line? Looking good man. That truck y'all build a few years ago looks mighty fun.

He recycles the right way
I have seen a lot of early car cages that look like they could be tucked tighter (but were probably as tight as they could get a welder to). I have never tried to do it.

The ability to weld the joints completely is a problem, but pretty sure can get it done with this design.

Easier to weld the cage with no roof.

To do them in the car with the roof on, where the legs sit cut 4 holes in the floor and drop the legs down and you can get to the top of the cage to weld.

Unless the frame rail is directly below the down tube. I believe NHRA allows an incomplete weld around the top with specified additional bracing.

Welding those roll cages completely is a lot easier without a car roof in the way.
Back in the day, I cut more then a few roofs off of race cars, welded up the cages, then welded the roof back on. It wasn't as hard as it sounds.

Outside, should look ok once there is some kind of a bed mocked up. Plans are for a grill shell and hood with a scoop on the carb.
