I LOVE the old school bushing-mounted/modular cage. Very cool!

That is the way I caged my 71 Ford Courier. I used leaf spring bushings back in 1987.
Nice work.

Cab tubing is wrapping up and I mounted the rear dust light. Mounting points for the front cross-over steering are in place, I'll have some pictures of that,soon. Today we'll start removing the wiring harness and start to stuff it in the new truck.

That dust light holder looks sweet (as does the rest of the work) Rob. Is that something you guys fabbed up, or did you buy that somewhere?

As I recall, I told Darin what I wanted and he made it. Darin always does better then what I'm expecting. I really like his style when it comes to fab work.

By the sounds of the above posts I'm guessing Rory may be involved. Looking forward to see what comes from that if that is the case!
Oh and work is looking top notch as always

Thanks guys, I'm happy to hear that there is interest in the T-shirt. The shirt is still being designed and when it's done I'll make sure that its available to anybody that wants one.

OK, starting to work on the front. You can see mounting plates on the cab and shock towers bolted up. Darin will connect those with tube to tie it all up.
