Nice work... Definitly looks good!

I noticed that he was using a TIG welder in one of your pictures. Is that necessary in order to get it certified? I know TIG is/can be stronger and is a lot cleaner, just curious if MIG can be used?

MIG welding is an approved method for mild steel cages, but on Chrome moly cages (which this is) you need to use a TIG welder.

Got any close-ups of the swing outs? I'm still trying to find some prefabbed ones I like that don't cost a million bucks.

Thanks guys. I am trying to finish up the interior tonight, then I'll get some "final" pictures.

Oh, and the cage looks great. I love when you can put the interior back in and it looks somewhat stock.
You start with this:

Then you pull the pin, it goes like this:

Voila!
All because it pivots on this:

Or you unbolt it and put it in the trunk :).
All the pics can be seen here:

I need to do some steam cleaning of the interior, but that isn't needed for the car to "run".
I also have to make a radio bezel, find my ash tray and put that in, make a switch panel, and carpet where the rear seats use to be.
But I am calling it "done" for now.
