Cage Part 2

Over the past few days I have been fabricating the seat mounts for the cage. The concept is pretty simple, the seats sit on two pieces of cage tubing that stretch from one door bar to the other. I connected the two pieces of cage tubing with 1.5" Angle for the seat sliders to sit on. Here's a pic of the mounts finished:This setup keeps the seats up off of the floor and ties them into the cage for strength. Next are some pictures with the seats and console set. Here's a Front/Top view of the whole thing put together:
I chose gray over black for the seats so they will stay cooler in the summer with the top off. The ammo box fits just right for a small console between the two seats. Here's a picture from behind showing how the diagonals will be in the right position to tie in the shoulder harnesses.

All that I have left to do on the cage now is to drill the mounting holes for the seats, add tabs for the harnesses, and clean it up and paint it... I got word today that the quarter panels will ship today, and I should be ordering a transmission soon.

That's all for now!
