Which was ??? Exo or internal? Right now not sure if I want to cut holes to go inside. I still have ac and heat and no leaks from rain. Lol. Thinking exo but don't want to keep adding weight. It's already a heavy pig.

You can seal the holes with a hybrid cage. That rack appears very well made, and a proper hybrid wouldn't make it into a hack job.

Which was, how is it attached, if not a cage, LMAO...I think you have a good base with that rack, just build off it from there. If you do a cage you're going to be adding weight regardless, I think a hybrid would be killer. Do the main structure internal, and some of the vulnerable areas (rear lower quarters and maybe front fenders) outside as exo. Just a thought.

Yes very true. And yes it's solid. I keep in the back of my mind if I cage it I might try even harder lines than I do now. Lol. I may do 4 link rear first.

If you don't have a build thread yet, please start one before your next project. I'd be interested in following your progress.

Picked up a new front header panel. Its now flat black and in my garage and I'm trying to decide if I hate the chrome or to keep it.

Got some interesting looks driving home like this lol
