You don't need a roll cage. My son rolled this '67 & barely dented/scraped up the roof. You will not want to crawl over/around a roll cage to get in/out of a Small car. 
I had to have good working heaters to make my wife happy! It would be easier/cheaper to just weld in a $300 shipped 'cut to order' passenger heater channel in 1 piece. Not that I care if you buy mine, because this is the only complete 1 I have left to sell! 
Carry On! as you are making progress!

Thank God..... He's all right !
You talked me out of it....lol.. I got enough to do.
Spot welding fenders, then priming before it goes outside.... gotta get the motor/tranny out before winter.
My shop won't be ready for a while We have two kids in College. That's when the whole car will come apart to get pans, and anything else "just wanna drive to Show next year"

I gotta cut these pans out.... patch work sucks without using same pan pieces. My rockers arrived today.
I always start off fast, go back and fix...then continue calmly until finished. ...lol. |

Did some cleaning tonight....
Looks like someone cut metal for a bigger tire/wheel ?
Some of my materials. .
Decided on Lord Fusor 2098 for bonding (I can always grind later)
I may use it for seam sealer ?... it will cost me $1000.....lol
My 22nd Weeding Anniversary tomorrow. .... movie and lunch !!
Some hardware for my cable connections. . May or may not use

OK, but these aren't on their list of products. Did you custom order?
