The sparks are bad, the sparks will even melt little pits in the windshield. Ask me how I know, but I was a teenage then and now I know better.

Oh yeah thats for sure. We were removing it to complete the welds.
How close is your head going to be to the B pillar?
Looks good. I like the bends.

So I got the rear part of the cage set up and welded in. That was a pain to get straight, but we got it were it needs to be. Checked clearances 3 times. I went with the shopping cart handle look in the back to be slightly different then other cages that I've seen.
Items to Address:
Shoulder seat belt support
Dashboard piece
Seat mount
Connector pieces from floor to frame
I will keep on it

Last night I was able to get alot done. As you can see the seatbelt hoop, dashboard piece, and A-pillar to B-pillar supports are in.
I had to get rid of the driver's side underseat storage box to make my new seats fit lower.
But I will probably make a bigger one under the passenger seat 
because I'm not using the stock tank.
Tomorrow night the seat mounts will be fab'd up.

The cage is looking real good. Can't wait to redo mine and get started on some tube fenders/rockers. ( the flop the other weekend did in my right fender and running board).
Love the colors of your rig, can't go wrong with the red and black.

Looking nice, I like the bends for dash clearance, I've seen alot of different ways to do it and think yours is very clean!

I just finished the cage with seats and it is looking real good. one day ill take it out to get powder coated.
Here is the floor mounts to dash area.
As you can see the old cage holes in the floor that i need to fill
I made my seat brackets out of 1 1/2" and 1" tube. Ground off the stock subaru seat brackets and welded some tabs on the seat tracks. This way i am still fully adjustable. Then drilled through the 1" tube for the 7/16 hardware. I then added seatbelt tabs and 2 small belt hoops behind the headrests.
The last step i did was install frame connectors to the body.
As you can see she had a lot of holes to be filled.
LOL The P.O. went holy on us in the rear wheel wells.

The cage build has come to an end
I decieded to share the end result of the cage and stop hoarding these pictures for myself. Been caught up with a little thing called life I guess. This is right before I put the top is all back on and covered it all up. The fingers were crossed and I gotta say it fits really nice. So enjoy the fresh powder coat.;p
